Moving towards the end of the passage, Le Corbusier’s final assertion in his self endorsed edict “A state of mind for conceiving mass-production housing.” Again one could argue Le Corbusier was inferring more so to a level of thought where there is no pre conceived notion of what a home or tower is, or even can be, only the task at hand and a mind to solve it.

A connection between mind and body eventually developed a proprietor within the thinking mind. The neuropsychologist Antonio Damasio believes that a mind with subjectivity is a conscious mind, otherwise one would not know of his existence, who he is, and what he thinks (Damasio, 2010).

suffering and worry are all created by the egotistical mind, one that is never conform and filled with greed and selfishness. Self-hood, or always thinking about I and me is the leading cause to our suffering. Our thinking brain, which is the source of our self, is the organ of the body that attributes to our constant pains and feelings of sorrow. The Buddhist religion is right when it states that the ideas of self-hood cause us to suffer; our minds are attached and have difficulty accepting that life
It has been said by many that self-awareness is a defining characteristic of humankind, something only a few other living things on this planet may possess and none to the degree of humans. The British Dictionary defines self-aware as being "conscious of one 's own feelings, character, etc." However one must ask them self what is self-awareness and in asking what is self-awareness and the important questions of self-awareness such as what are we and who are we?

argument for dualism, he states that humans are composed of both an immaterial substance and a physical substance. Moreland notes that there are contrasting differences between the minds and the brains and that they are ultimately separate entities. By defending dualism, Moreland seeks to make nonbelievers believe in immaterial souls, while discrediting materialism. We can look at the arguments in which Moreland uses to support the argument of dualism and belief that the mind and brain are separate

Therefore, by not carrying the past forward into the future we are completely free of the past. In this state of observation or meditation we naturally always refer to the Self and intuitive knowing arises as we have been freed from the past and the future.

again it is not as we must be able to define what and who our enduring self is. In this paper, I will argue that we should identify ourselves through our individual soul, thus supporting the same soul theory. By having the same soul, we are the same person. I will support this argument by giving a brief overview of all the theories of personal identity then stating the objection of the same soul theory using the same body and same mind theorist. Last but not least, I will then respond accordingly to the
personal identity theory states that the philosophical confrontation with the ultimate questions of our own existence, such as who are we, and is there life after death? This investigation of personal identity specifies adequate circumstances for the identity of the person over the period of time. In this assignment, these two philosophers will be introduced thoroughly with a summary about each of them, their similarities and differences, and personal views on which state that I would prefer.

In philosophy, Mind–body dualism is any theory that states that the mind and body are two distinct kinds of substances or natures. The problem of the relationship of the mind to body arose from the works of René Descartes, a French philosopher and mathematician of the 17th-century who gave dualism its classical formulation or made it to be what it is today. Conceived from his famous “Cogito, ergo sum” (Latin) meaning “I think, therefore I am,” he developed a theory of the mind as a nontangible and
