| | Dualism and Mind [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
 | | This problem of other minds, to which dualism leads so naturally, is often used to support rival theories such as behaviorism, the mind-brain identity theory, or functionalism (though functionalists sometimes claim that their theory is consistent with dualism). | | | Since the mind, construed along Cartesian lines, leads to solipsism (that is, to the epistemological belief that one's self is the only existence that can be verified and known), it is better to operationalize the mind and define mental states behaviorally, functionally, or physiologically. | | | If the mind is not publicly observable, the existence of minds other than our own must be inferred from the behavior of the other person or organism. |

| | Eyes |
| | There are the two of them settled in my mind, shifting around each other in their meanings, in intensity, so like so unalike so very much every thing and all nothing, confused in my heart and my mind's unclear eye. | | | As it is, my mind haunts me with fleeting images and meanings that never mean anything but the death of a dream (blue eyes, green eyes) or the continuance of a reality. | | | But then blue eyes shoulder their way into my dreamings, and touch me with the wildness of all that that was, and the rememberings, and the power, and I might say that sometimes I like that if it weren't for the hurting. |

| | Some optometrists in the United States, Europe and Australia practice a form of "physical therapy" for the eyes and brain called "vision therapy" or "vision training." Vision therapy consists of a program of exercises which improve vision by systematically training the entire visual system (which includes eyes, brain, mind and body). | | | Stereo viewing is particularly useful in treating problems with binocular vision or stereo vision such as, amblyopia ("lazy eye") and strabismus ("crossed-eyes" or "wall-eyes"). | | | Ask your eye doctor whether he or she tests and rehabilitates stereoscopic vision. |
