Start of article Mind

Starting article, as stub, from lemma, after editing definition. —Anthony.Sebastian 16:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

“Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.” Franklin P. Jones (1887-1929) —Anthony.Sebastian 05:09, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

“The essence of the mind being equally unknown to us with that of external bodies, it must be equally impossible to form any notion of its powers and qualities otherwise than from careful and exact experiments, and the observation of particular effects, which result from different circumstances and situations.” David Hume, quoted here.Gareth Leng 13:25, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Gareth, thanks for the quote, for directing me to SEP's 'David Hume' article, and the gentle hint to move on to the science of mind. Trying to work out an original organizational scheme for the body of the article. Thinking about the possibility of working backward in time, but seeing the problems there. Any thoughts? &mdashAnthony.Sebastian 23:14, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
