Metaphysics of Mind

The metaphysics of mind explores fundamental questions about consciousness, thought, and their relation to the physical world. It examines "qualia," the subjective experiences of feelings and sensations, and debates whether these can be fully explained by science. The "extended mind" theory suggests our minds extend into our environment, using tools and technology as part of our cognitive processes. The "private language argument" highlights that our thoughts and experiences may not be fully expressible in language, as each person's inner experience is unique. Overall, it investigates how mind, language, and reality interconnect and shape our understanding of existence.
