Thoughts as Selected Set-Theoretical Constructions, and topics in Philosophy of Mind by way of Mathematical Analogy

Abstract

A theory of mind is provided by assuming thoughts are mathematical objects (more specifically, constructible using set-theory). Problems from the philosophy of mind are probed using mathematical analogy, and the relation of minds to bodies is clarified using relations that are typical between mathematical structures.
