A HISTORY OF THE MIND

Keywords: Mind- Body Problem - qualia - dualism
Keywords: a history of mental evolution - I take it for granted that the human mind does indeed have an evolutionary history, extending through nonhuman prototypes- monkeys, reptiles, worms - all the way back to the first glimmerings of life on Earth. - PHENOMENON - an event as it appears to an observer - subjective feelings - sensitivity - action patterns - What is happening to me - what is happening out there - While one path led to the qualia of subjective feelings and first-person knowledge of the self, the other led to the intentional objects of cognition and of objective knowledgege of the external physical world.
Keywords: Senses - The Double Province of the Senses
Sentio, ergo sum - I feel, therefore I am
