This is just a question that popped into my head after Thursday's class. I don't really have a definite definition of what I consider the mind to be, but when people say "are you out of your mind?" does that mean that they have lost all sense of reason. People in a coma have a brain, but live in a vegetative state. Can they think rationally? Is the ability to reason what differentiates us from animals? I hope this helps!
