A Model of the Conscious Mind
Through the ages, there has been much philosophical debate about the nature of consciousness and its relation to the mind, and the mind’s relation to the brain.
It is generally agreed that consciousness is the property of the mind that gives us a sense of ourselves as individuals, and of ourselves as participants in the activities that occur around us. An understanding of the conscious mind is also central to an understanding of the subconscious mind. You can use one to define the other, and you can gain an appreciation of their separate properties by comparing and contrasting the typical activities of these two domains.
