Page "Mind" Paragraph 9

Which attributes make up the mind is much debated.

Some psychologists argue that only the " higher " intellectual functions constitute mind, particularly reason and memory.

In this view the emotions — love, hate, fear, joy — are more primitive or subjective in nature and should be seen as different from the mind as such.

Others argue that various rational and emotional states cannot be so separated, that they are of the same nature and origin, and should therefore be considered all part of what we call the mind.
