New resource on the mind: MindPapers

David Chalmers (his blog) and David Bourget have created a monstrous (18,204 entries) "bibliography of work in the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of cognitive science, and the science of consciousness." MindPapers is divided into 8 parts and each part is subdivided. The eight parts:

Part 1: Philosophy of Consciousness [2789 entries]
Part 2: Intentionality [2377 entries]
Part 3: Perception [1821 entries]
Part 4: Metaphysics of Mind [2164 entries]
Part 5: Miscellaneous Philosophy of Mind [2346 entries]
Part 6: Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence [1197 entries]
Part 7: Philosophy of Cognitive Science [1532 entries]
Part 8: Science of Consciousness [3978 entries]

If you are interested in the mind, you may find yourself spending much time at MindPapers.

When you are using your mind, conflict will be very different from when the conflict is being driven by your brain. This distinction is one of the most critical in our whole approach to the neuroscience of conflict resolution. Because of the mind's importance, I wanted you to have this link to such a comprehensive mind resource: MindPapers.

Hi Stephanie. Thank you for stopping by blog nerd and for providing the link to your interesting site. This link is FABULOUS. I'm glad to have it as I'm a humanities scholar who is using cog sci in her Ph.d dissertation.

I'd be interested in the official definition of mind vs. brain as you employ it--is their a material difference between mind and brain as you describe it or does mind simply arise from brain? And what peer-reviewed work do you cite as a defense of your definition?

I think your usage of it is clear from the context but I was wondering philosophical and neurologically how you are defining it specifically.

Sorry to be lazy, I'm sure that is contained somewhere herein--but if you don't want to summarize here maybe point me to a link?

Thanks
