Nothing in the universe is more mysterious than the inner workings of the human mind.



* Do other people have a mind like yours and, if so, how do you know?

* Is your mind something distinct from your body, or do ordinary physiological processes produce minds?

* Can a machine have a mind?

* What is consciousness?

* Do you have free will?

* Is everything you are now experiencing actually happening, or is that an elaborate illusion created by the mind?
