This book discusses two of the oldest and hardest problems in both science and philosophy: What is matter?, and What is mind?

In order to keep the book slender, whole fields of basic physical research had to be excluded - chiefly many-body physics, quantum field theories, and elementary particle theories.

They outline a unified and science-oriented philosophical framework that enables the clarification of many foundational and philosophical issues in biology.

This book surveys philosophies that have had a significant positive or negative impact on the search for truth, offering systemism and materialism as research-nurturing doctrines. Covers problems under current discussion, and points out neglected topics.

This book is about some topical philosophical and methodological prob lems that arise in the study of behavior and mind, as well as in the treatment of behavioral and mental disorders.
