This paper discusses the issues surrounding voluntary action control in terms of two models that have emerged in empirical research into how our human conscious capabilities govern and control voluntary motor actions.

Abstract This essay addresses the question how we know our conscious thinking. Conscious thinking typically takes the form of a series of discrete episodes that constitute a complex cognitive activity. We must distinguish the discrete episodes of thinking in which a particular content is represented in phenomenal consciousness and is present “before the mind's eye” from the extended activities...

Self-reflection and self-awareness aid in the recovery from external trauma and heal psychosomatic wounds.

Ernst Mach was trained as a physicist in Vienna. He entered psychology in 1860, when the appearance of Fechner&s;s two-volume Elemente der Psychophysik had an electrifying effect upon him. As regards philosophy, Mach tells us later in the Analysis of Sensations that, during the 1860s, he was pulled toward a Herbartian "psycho-physical monadology" and toward panpsychist and "idealist" views....

Thomas Reid’s philosophy is a philosophy of mind. The aim of his published works is to construct what he calls “a just system of the mind; that is, an enumeration of the original powers and laws of our constitution, and an explication from them of the various phenomena of human nature” (IHM I ii, 15). In Reid’s day, the “phenomena of human nature” to be explicated in the philosophy of mind were...

Methodologically, natural philosophers sought regularities in...
