 | | Human ecology is an academic discipline that investigates how humans and human societies interact with their environment, nature and the human social environment. | | | Humanism as a philosophy defines a socio-political doctrine the bounds of which are not constrained by those of locally developed cultures, but which seeks to include all of humanity and all issues common to human beings. | | | The human body is subject to an ageing process and to illness. |

| | Mind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although Freud did not deny that the mind was a function of the brain, he held the mind has, as it were, a mind of its own, of which we are not conscious, which we cannot control, and which can be accessed only though psychoanalysis (particularly the interpretation of dreams). | | | Huxley's rationalism, however, was disturbed in the early 20th century by the ideas of Sigmund Freud, who developed a theory of the unconscious mind, and argued that those mental processes of which humans are subjectively aware are only a small part of their total mental activity. | | | Modern theories, based on a scientific understanding of the brain, see the mind as a phenomenon of psychology, and the term is often used more or less synonymously with consciousness. |

| | The mind is a subject about which very much theorizing, experimenting, and expostulating has occurred in philosophy (studied under the heading philosophy of mind), psychology, and religion (where, in theology, it is often considered alongside such related notions as soul and spirit). | | | The mind is a subject about which very much theorizing, experimenting, and expostulating has occurred in philosophy, psychology, and religion. | | | The view of common sense, it seems, is opposed to a bundle theory of the mind. |

| | How the Human Brain Developed and How the Human Mind Works |
| | It takes human beings many years to bring up their children and it is the right hemisphere which is concerned with a wide range of emotions and feelings of care and affection for the young and for the family, and then for other people and the community. | | | Human beings store memories by means of changed neural pathways, by means of persistent modifications to the structure of neurons and their synaptic connections, by means of biochemical changes. | | | Humane behaviour is based on feelings of care and affection for the young and for the family, and then for other people and the community. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mind |
| | Mind is also contrasted with mechanical theories as cause or explanation of the order of the world. | | | If, however, the mind be identified with the soul, and if the latter be allowed to be the principle of vegetative life, there can be no valid reason for denying that the principle of our mental life may be also the subject of unconscious activities. | | | The unity and simplicity which characterize the simplest acts of the mind are incompatible with such a theory. |

| | The desire of human beings to be free from pain and to seek pleasure Freud called the "pleasure principle," the goal of which is to maintain the psyche in a state of constancy, or equilibrium. | | | If a person is in a state of grief, unless the person cries or otherwise expresses the grief, he or she has not emotionally experienced the grief, and the grief impulses remain with the person. | | | The Intellect, then, is the spokesperson for the Rational Mind in the planning and organization of the everyday itinerary and long-range goals of the person required for satisfaction of his or her needs and desires. |

| | Marshaling evidence from brain and behavioral studies of humans and animals, he explains how an expansion of conscious capacity was the key to this revolutionary development, because it cuts across traditional domains of the mammalian mind and can change our mental structures by installing new skills, which then become second nature. | | | This hybrid mind, Donald suggests, is our main evolutionary advantage, for it allowed humanity as a species to break free of the limitations of the mammalian brain. | | | Drawing on his groundbreaking theory of the origins of the modern mind, Merlin Donald's persuasive thesis presents the forces, both cultural and neuronal, that power our distinctively human modes of awareness. |

| | String Theory and the Human Mind |
| | Finally, the most telling criticism of all materialist theories of the mind is against its key postulate that happenings in the neural machinery of the brain provide a necessary and sufficient explanation of the totality both of the performance and of the conscious experience of a human being. | | | The mind, acting as a messenger of a past experience, however, could modify that experience in transit to the present moment, and that is what we do much of the time. | | | It might be the human spirit that trains the mind to act in love, but if the spirit has withered or is small or weak relative to the mind, the training suffers and the survival of the fittest prevails in violence. |

| | Amazon.com: A Mind So Rare: The Evolution of Human Consciousness: Books: Merlin Donald |
| | This book seems to be a manifesto of sorts toward a new view of the mind that incorporates what we know about the self and goal-directed domain-independent behavior rather than explaining away these important aspects of human mental function. | | | Donald ignores the role of emotions in consciousness, which is to leave out feelings (which are the conscious perception of emotions), and the role of emotions in guiding consciousness. | | | He points out that the drafts we generate in our minds are not at all arbitrary competitors for dominance, but are distinctly related to goals and expectations. |

| | Jung and a succession of analytic psychologists who have extended his work, argue that one source of memory is outside the individual human psyche; they term this source the collective unconscious. | | | In this article, we have searched for the equivalent function of the human mind, and found that the lowest level already seems to be a primitive personality. | | | Every conscious part of the human personality begins as a crude, almost mechanical, figure with few defined qualities, but eventually develops into a multi-faceted part of consciousness. |

| | Quest: The Human Mind |
| | Believed by many, including me, to be a manifestation of an evolved and sufficiently complex brain, the search for the mind has been the focus of debate among philosophers and, more recently, scientists. | | | We will examine the questions raised, theories offered and the real world implications of our quest to understand the origin and the potential of the human mind. | | | Clearly, all that we think we know and all that comprises our personal and collective realities as humans reside in our own elusive minds. |

| | In addition, the distinction of mind from body establishes the absolute independence of the material realm from the spiritual, securing the freedom of scientists to rely exclusively on observation for their development of mechanistic explanations of physical events. | | | On the other hand, Cartesian dualism offers some clear advantages: For one thing, it provides an easy proof of the natural immortality of the human mind or soul, which cannot be substantially affected by death, understood as an alteration of the states of the physical organism. | | | This radical separation of mind and body makes it difficult to account for the apparent interaction of the two in my own case. |
