Mental Philosophy is a branch of philosophy that studies the ontology, nature, and relationship of the mind to the body. Aspects of the mind that are studied include mental events, mental functions, mental properties, consciousness, the ontology of the mind, the nature of thought, and the relationship of the mind to the body. The main aim of philosophers working in this area is to determine the nature of the mind and mental states/processes, and how—or even if—minds are affected by and can affect the body. The book explains all aspects of mental philosophy in simple language.
