There are many theories of what the mind is and how it works, dating back to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato Plato], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle Aristotle], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shankara Adi Shankara], [[Siddhartha|Siddhārtha Gautama]], and other Ancient Greek and Indian [[philosophy|philosophers]]. Pre-scientific theories, which were rooted in [[theology]], concentrated on the relationship between the mind and the [[soul]], the supposed [[supernatural]], [[divine]] or God-given essence of the [[human]] [[personality|person]]. Modern theories, based on a scientific understanding of the [[brain]], see the mind as a [[phenomenon]] of [[psychology]], and the term is often used more or less synonymously with consciousness.

The question of which human attributes make up the mind is also much debated. Some argue that only the "higher" [[intellect]]ual 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 in nature or origin to the mind. Others argue that the rational and the emotional sides of the human person cannot be separated, that they are of the same nature and origin, and that they should all be considered as part of the individual mind.
