Mind and Body

The concept of Mind and Body often explores the relationship between our mental states (thoughts, feelings, consciousness) and our physical states (the body, brain, and biological processes). In philosophy, "substance" refers to what something is made of, while "essence" refers to its fundamental nature or purpose. The mind is sometimes considered a non-physical substance that interacts with the physical body, raising questions about how thoughts influence actions and vice versa. This interplay is central to understanding human experience, identity, and the nature of existence itself.
