"The mind is how the brain looks like from the outside." Could you clarify what you mean by "the outside."?

-
Great way to look at it. What do you think of Pinker's "the mind is what the brain does"?
-
Not my idea. Kenneth Stern, my internet philosophy teacher told me it years ago. Didn't read Pinker's book, generally avoid phil of mind.
-
IMO neuroscience is in its infancy, very unreliable state of science, doing philosophy of mind at this stage is immature.
-
I'd say Pinker's How the Mind Works is on modularity and EP. Do you consider massive modularity philosophy of mind?
-
No, but why would I read a 20 years old book to learn about neuroscience and EP? Doesn't make sense.
-
So is saying "the mind is what the brain does" is premature?
