N2 - The mind/body problem is the feeling/function problem: How and why do
feeling systems feel? The problem is not just "hard" but insoluble (unless one
is ready to resort to telekinetic dualism). Fortunately, the "easy" problems of
cognitive science (such as the how and why of categorization and language)
are not insoluble. Five books (by Damasio, Edelman/Tononi, McGinn,
Tomasello and Fodor) are reviewed in this context.
