Perhaps no aspect of the mind is more familiar or more mysterious than the mind and our conscious experience of ourselves and the world. The problem of consciousness is perhaps the central problem of modern theorizing about the mind.

The word "philosophy" has Greek roots. Literally from this language it is translated as phileo - "I love", and sophia - "wisdom".
