Abstract
This is a textbook for first year students that have no background in philosophy, the cognitive sciences, psychology, or neuroscience. It is a historical overview of the mind-body debate.
Can the mind function separately from the brain? Can machines have conscious minds? Is Google Maps part of the conscious mind? Hans Dooremalen provides answers to these three and five other questions about the conscious mind in an easy to read introduction to the philosophy of mind.
