Mind as an emergent self-organizing process
It&#x27;s kind of weird how this comes from a &quot;scientist&quot; instead of a philosopher. I read the article and it&#x27;s basically saying this scientist guy came up with the definitive &quot;definition&quot; of the mind so other scientists can have a common ground to build upon.<p>While I understand where this is coming from, I still don&#x27;t understand why a &quot;scientist&quot; is advertising this concept as something novel. Also I can&#x27;t believe a scientist--who should know better--is trying to define this.<p>This debate has existed throughout human history and you could even arguably say the entire history of philosophy is to figure out the answer to this problem.<p>I also visited the author&#x27;s book page on Amazon <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Mind-Journey-Heart-Being-Human&#x2F;dp&#x2F;039371053X?tag=quartz07-20" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Mind-Journey-Heart-Being-Human&#x2F;dp&#x2F;039...</a> (of which this article is an advertorial), and just look at that cover art. This is not a &quot;scientist&quot; material. Really reminds me of some Eckhart Tolle stuff.
