In this innovative work, Moulyn examines some of the most
fundamental questions arising from human experience: Why do we feel
and behave as if mind and body are separate entities? What is the
actual relationship between them? Dissatisfied with the common
philosophic view that categorically separates body and mind by
placing one in space and the other in time, he proposes an
objective and subjective timespace to explain mind-body interaction
and create a basis for unity and inner harmony. Choosing a point at
which body and mind intersect, the author focuses on the
neuromuscular and psychological nature of movement and
distinguishes between two kinds of movement: mechanical and
purpose-striving. He places mechanical movement in objective
timespace while purposeful movement, which is linked to mental
activity, he assigns to subjective timespace. This schema is used
to explore a range of physical/psychological phenomena, including
the reasons for the human tendency to separate mind from body and
time and space; the implications of human foreknowledge of death;
the evolutionary development of body-mind interaction; mental
processes; the concepts of self, ego, and soul; and the question of
creativity. Providing a new perspective on a fundamental human
dilemma, this work is relevant to studies and classes in
neurophysiology, philosophy, humanism, and the philosophy of
science.
