WHAT IT IS THE MIND? <
BR>The mind is a set of components or independent states, but also a system integrator of dynamic
processes of interacção (cognitivos, emotional and conativos). Thus, the mind specifically appears in side none, being each process important other processes to operate e, at the same time afectando them
E leaving itself to afectar for them. It is understood that the mind is something internal, invisible, private. Our thoughts, knowledge, feelings and intentions are personal., while singular people belonging
to the personal experience, that is subjective.
The subjectividade is very important in Psychology, being inherent to the notion of mind and to way as the human beings experienciam its life and if they hold. This subjectividade is an individual synthesis because in it identifies them as singular and only individuals. The idea of that the mind is something deep appears of our personal experiences - former: we know if we feel love or atracção for definitive person, but the others are unaware of. The mind is, then, something that exists in our
interior., something hidden, inaccessible to the others e, in some cases until obscure for us. In this way, study of the mind it was during much time associated with the knowledge of the conscience and the subjectividade.
Gradually, the study of the mind it started to deepen the relation between interior e the exterior, that is, to understand the relation between thoughts, emotions, wills, intentions and behaviors. They had appeared new elements for the understanding of what it is the mind, between which if detach the
representations. The representations transpose for one world
mental, existences, realities, shares but, also information on our interior: pains, fears, the faces
to our return. The representations are mental constructions of what it also exists exterior to the mind (objectos, shares, people, etc.) and of what is part of our interior world. Thus, the representations refer it the external reality (physical or sociocultural) and to the internal reality (organic or mental).
The citizen is active, in the measure where it is not limited to reproduce the world mentally: we can say that it constructs a world from
meanings that it attributes to the objectos, situations, people in one determined context. Systems of meanings exist that if find codified in one definitive society, of the sociocultural reality and that they are integrant part in the way as we think the world. our personal experiences and our interacções are marked by the sociocultural meanings. The citizen also does not reproduce the attributed meanings to one determined context cultural partner.
The neurociências go, therefore, to investigate the relations that if establish between the functioning mental e the
brain, looking for to identify to the involved cerebral areas in different activities and processes. The study on injuries in the brain it brought great discovered on the relations between the functioning of the brain and the mind.
Each more evident time becomes that the human being is one all sistémico one, a totality pledged and that the different processes must be studied in set, therefore what it is transferred in the brain it will also depend on what it is transferred in another organic structure.
The mind, being presented as a whole, asset transforming e, is a strong linked set of elements that present emergent properties as the auto-organization.
The mind is, thus, a dynamic and relationary system where the meaning, the appropriation and the auto-organization assume important roles for its functioning. The mind, as dynamic system of relations between the human being and the world, the activity consists and is changedded through the active envolvement into the world.
THE MIND IS NOT, THEREFORE
