Introduction. The subject matter of philosophy of mind is the mind-body problem other issues are addressed, such as the hard problem of consciousness, and the nature of particular mental states.: the problem of reconciling man’s understandings of the causal structure of the physically described world, including our bodies and brains, with the apparent capacity of our conscious thoughts and efforts to cause our bodies to move in consciously intended ways.
