Mind Body Problem

- What am I? A human being! What is a human being? What is the I? which wants and expresses itself in what it says and does constantly?

- General components. Body and mind. The first is an object of space, the second is not.

- What is mind? Mental activity, Consciousness? Psyche? Spirit? Soul?

But we know what it does, thinking, walking, feeling

- Useful emotions, moods, desires, strives, hope

- Consciousness and self-consciousness.

- Consciousness of Time [Past, Present, Future].

Body's physical event [Public].

Mind - mental events [Private].

What is the states of mental events?

How are they related to physical events?

- Are mental events, physical events of some kind?

- Can the scientists see an emotion or an idea under the microscope?

The quality of a feeling of a color or the way I feel about such qualities?

- How about self-consciousness?

- I have an idea of this black board- is my idea black?

- There seems to be an interaction between mental and physical events: if you or something hits me, I think and am conscious of pain. An idea in my mind can produce a physical event: or action.
