    About this ebook

    Mind may probably be the most intriguing thing that has fascinated human beings, philosophers as well as the scientists, for thousands of years. This book summarizes our current scientific views on the Mind, the questions that arise due to that view, the efforts by ancient philosophies to address these questions and probably a possibility of going beyond the realms of current scientific approach.
