Abstract


His heart problem is one of the nine major problems in the philosophy of mind and self-cognition, which together constitute the core content of the philosophy of mind, epistemology. What is he? Simply put, others have no heart? If so, how to recognize? For the first part of the answer must be related to heart what such an ontological problem. In fact, his heart problem arises, it is precisely because the Cartesian concept of psychosomatic and folk psychology - mind and matter as opposed to another entity, it does not have extensive, the essential characteristics of thinking. And mind cognition is a private sphere of cognition, only the owner of the mind to direct cognition, and others outside of it only indirectly cognitive. It is because of this psychosomatic dualism was a result of the asymmetry of the mind awareness, which leads to the generation of his heart problems. Is also because of dualism, the long-term understanding of his heart is the only theory, shrouded in skepticism. His heart problems arise and answers people's hearts inseparable from the concept, of course, it is also related to methodological issues. In fact, subsequent behaviorism, physicalism has been able to answer for his heart problems, it is also their ability to change the concept of the soul: the soul open, naturalization, scientific mind research. In this paper, the investigation of his heart problems, found hidden in the mind behind the epistemological mind ontological change this historical trend. In the a mind naturalized trend, the development of the Marxist theory of consciousness there is both an opportunity and a challenge. The paper is divided into three parts: Part I: heart problems and their logical. Asymmetry due to the presence of mind awareness: awareness of self-heart directly, not to be missed, his heart is direct, can be wrong, leading to the generation of his heart problems. Mind in the root cause of - Psychosomatic dualism. As the soul arguably substance as opposed to another entity, so that the soul cognitive color with strong solipsism, but also his heart cognitive skepticism tendency, the combination of the two led to the generation of his heart problems . Part II: several solutions attempt of his heart problems. Introductory argument by analogy, hypothesis - deductive proof \Part III: he teaches us a lesson. His heart problems are inextricably linked with the concept of people's hearts, philosophy of mind scientific research experience, naturalization trends, opportunities to develop Marxist theory of consciousness, is also facing difficulties.
