ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of the book. This book is about the human mind as a product of nature/biology and culture/society, respectively. People are greatly interested in theories of the mind around the world. Psychology is one of the university subjects with the most applicants in many countries, and psychological knowledge is used almost everywhere in society where people are involved: in education, parenting, business, marketing, politics and many other fields. The book is more precisely about the mind, where a psychological angle is just one of many, and where philosophy in particular is also brought into play. It highlights the brain, the body, society's social practices and things/technologies as being relevant analytical dimensions for understanding the human mind. The chapter provides some background knowledge about the key concepts of the person and especially the mind.
