The mind-body problem can be posed most briefly in a single question: What is the relation, in a man, between his mind and his body? The problem is important in philosophy because of its dose connections with philosophy's central concerns. The goal of philosophizing has always been to form the best judgment we can of what man is, what kind of world he inhabits, and what kind of lift- he should lead. Mind's relation to body is involved in our thinking on issues of both metaphysics and ethics. It is clearly at the heart of any view of man's nature. In this thesis is given an outline of the mind-body problem, classifications of taking standpoints on the problem and proposed a new classification of the mind-body problem.
