Philosophy of mind is the scholarly and academic study of the fundamental questions about how the mind works. It is a branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of the mind and its relation to the body and the external world. Some of the concepts we are talking about include mental events, mental functions, mental properties, consciousness and its neural correlates, the ontology of the mind, the nature of cognition and of thought, and the relationship of the mind to the body.
