===== Narrowing the Problem Domain - Defining the Mind ===== What aspect of mind is the One that is necessary to be able to say that we have a mind at all? Some candidates are that we are [[consciousness|conscious]] of our selves, that our minds are [[intentionality|intentional]] about the world, and that we are capable of volitions as free [[FreeWill|agents]]. * [[FreeWill|Free will]] is a question about what nature allows us to will. * [[intentionality|Intentionality]] is just our minds copy, or rather interpretation, of nature. * [[consciousness|Consciousness]] of our selves is where Descartes discovered that we are more than just fictional characters in some evil spirits plot. Our [[emcon|emergence]] is not some form of [[dualism|dualism]], but states how [[complex_systems|complex]] [[materialism|material systems can obtain more material properties]] when they become [[complex_systems|complex]] enough in some special way. ===== [[library|library]]
