%X The mind/body problem is the feeling/function problem: How and why do
                               feeling systems feel? The problem is not just "hard" but insoluble (unless one
                               is ready to resort to telekinetic dualism). Fortunately, the "easy" problems of
                               cognitive science (such as the how and why of categorization and language)
                               are not insoluble. Five books (by Damasio, Edelman/Tononi, McGinn,
                               Tomasello and Fodor) are reviewed in this context.
