the an idea that is the result of you applying reflexive logic to define something based on perceived differences between your brain's functions and your body's. We don't have a 'mind' concept for the stomach. neither does the stomach.
But, because it is our brain's job (at least one job) to to analyse the environment, it will try to analyse itself. we invent this thing called the 'mind' so we can abstract away from the body and pretend it's somehow inherently different. it isn't. the brain is an organ. it operates on chemical reactions in a mechanical way.
