The Mind-Brain Relationship as a Mathematical Problem
This paper aims to frame certain fundamental aspects of the human mind (content and meaning of mental states) and foundational elements of brain computation (spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity) so as to enable at least in principle their integration within one and the same quantitative representation. Through the history of science, similar approaches have been instrumental to bri...

It is argued that this objection can be superseded by a different conception of consciousness. Consciousness, while being conscious of something, is always unconscious of itself. Consciousness of being consciou...

پِلِیس بر این باور است که مسائل فلسفی مرتبط با ماهیتِ نسبتِ میان ذهن و مغز، در نهایت بهنفعِ مادیگرایی -خصوصاً نظریه اینهمانیِ نوعی- کنار گذاشته یا منحل خواهند شد. او این مدعا را فرضیهای علمی و مستدل میداند. من در این مقاله نشان خواهم داد که ماجرا بهگونهای نیست که او میپندارد. اگر چه این متن، سراسر، حاوی جزئیات فراوانی در باب موضع پِلِیس است ولی به منظور فراهم آوردن بستری برای نقد، در ابتدا، روی...
