The papers by William Bynum and Arthur Benton provide sketches of the history of reflections by physicians and neural scientists about the relationship of mind and body. For many reasons we puzzle concerning what our minds have to do with our bodies. We know ourselves as fabrics of volitions, desirings, and cognitions that have a history and a place. I am in the here and now of my body, one of the physical objects of this world. In particular, the brain has shown itself to be my location, par excellence. Thus, my first-person acquaintance with my feelings, longings, and willings is confronted with a radical dependence on the central nervous system, which, in contrast, can be studied as can any other object in the world. Because of the contrast of the subjective and the objective, and because of their intimate coincidence in the brain, one has that recurring set of puzzles which is termed the mind-body problem. The experienced sense of mind and that of body contrast, yet they are intimately interrelated: the very sense of the mental in this world presupposes a body [4].
