A Discussion of the Foundations of Philosophy of Mind

Author(s) Mr. Rajeev Lochan Tripathi

Abstract In this article I have dealt with the salient features of the Mind and the Body, the Mind-Body Relationship; Dualism and Interactionism , the Relationship between the Mind and the Machine through the lens of Functionalism, Computational Functionalism and Mind and lastly the chapter will be emphasized on the conceptual orientations, argumentations with regard to determining the gap of Research and the implication of methods of the Research. In this article I argue that particular area of argumentation in philosophy which often seems to be interdisciplinary in nature. When someone starts to talk about the idea of mind in the realm of Philosophy of Mind it leads a bypass of metaphysics. It eventually leads one to talk about the nature of minds which is a metaphysical question about the mind. As soon as we ask this metaphysical question as to what the nature of the mind is, we are led to ask an epistemological status as to how we know how we know the mind? As it has been considered in the realm of Philosophy of Mind that the mind is a non-physical substance without extension and space that acts as a function of the central nervous system of the brain and computational processes as well. Still, several significant queries and questions presents in the researchers of the field of Philosophy of Mind. Among such queries and questions, the very fundamental question remain unanswered in certain respects are; What is Philosophy of Mind? What is not Mind in Philosophy of Mind? and why this is Philosophy of Mind? etc.
