Traditional Chinese and Greek philosophy of mind is discussed, along with the insights of modern neuroscience. The chapter describes the role of the pre-frontal cortex as the executive function, and the hemispheres of the brain as two contrasting personalities of a single mind, along with contrasting world views of civilization and go-with-the-flow Tao.
