This book explores the mysteries of the human brain and the potential of the mind. The peculiarities and infinitude of the mind have been a theme for research for scientists and philosophers alike, for centuries.

This volume presents the unanswered and highly convoluted questions and hypotheses surrounding the human mind in a simplified way. It examines the binaries of religion and science, god and nature, and emotions and intelligence through a philosophical lens to posit that the relationships between cognition, belief, nature, and science are what we understand and infer based on our surroundings and how much we are willing to think, learn, and introspect.

This book will be of interest to students of philosophy, psychology, science, popular science, psychoanalysis, cognitive studies, and mental health. It will also appeal to general readers.
