Overview

The Mind-Body Problem Solved is an original, groundbreaking work for which there is little precedent. This new paradigm deals with how the three main functions of symbolic language created the three parts of the mind-body problem. These are the problems of subjective consciousness, the nature of mind, and the origin of the self. In addressing these conundrums, the origin and dissolution of the mind-body problem will be explained. The Mind-Body Problem Solved is an original work for which there is little precedent. The mind-body problem constitutes a split between our objective experiences of the external world and the subjective experiences within us-a break in the fabric of reality that neither science nor philosophy has been able to explain. This book explains why the mind-body problem is not a psychological or neurophysiological problem, but a philosophical one that has its basis in the evolution of language. As such, this new paradigm explains how the three main functions of language created the three parts of the mind-body problem, the latter of which are the problems of subjective experience, the nature of mind, and the origin of the self. By providing logical, compelling, and profound answers to these age-old issues, the bold claim that the title of this book makes is realized, and the origin and dissolution of the mind-body problem explained. This concise book is not only about the mind-body problem, or about mending this rift between our outer and inner world, and thus restoring our sense of wholeness of being. It is about the nature of reality, subjective experience, soul, god, self, mind and self-awareness. It reveals how our capacity to create and use language enables us to become fully conscious, thereby making all our experiences real and vivid. It explains how the evolution of language led to our far-reaching capacity to connect with the world, with others, and with ourselves.
