The concept of mind and the subjective experience of conscious awareness are not usually differentiated. However, in this paper, the mind is shown to be a hypothetical entity and an artificial construct of our folk psychology. By contrast, the ‘elimination’ of the stream of consciousness [James] seems unlikely given the undeniable nature of the experience [Nagel]. An argument is made for the reduction of the folk psychology’s concept of mind to the physical act of processing information in the brain. In contrast to this reduction an argument is made for the brain’s subjective experience of the informational content within it.
