Abstract

Seeking the natural disposition of mind becomes the highest level of intelligence for several millenniums during the civilization of mankind. The modern mind philosophy is developed on the difference between mind and body dualism and the mind and body monism. The mind and body dualism with Descartes as the representative thinks the body and mind accordingly belong to different entity. The mind and body monism believes firmly in the nonexistence of the mind apart from the body. The spirit is a part of the body, and the mind can attribute completely to the physiological and physical movement of the body. The progress in contemporary life science and the information science is promulgating the mind from the essence of science. Mind not only exists in, but also depends on the body and its physical carrier is the electric current in the brain. The essence of the penetrating of the mind not only brings about the revolution of the concept of thinking, but also makes people speculate the dream future of life science. For example, it may carry out the realizability of “eternal life”, the emergence of self-possessing and the artificial intelligence, the decoding of “self-encode” with mind release freely and the emergence of internet life, and so on.
