Fascinating article, Good article, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I approve the hook, but I am open for alternatives. I think this is more about brain than mind, and has too many numbers for my taste. How about speaking about the four approaches to study the mind - positively? Or something related to an image? - Looking forward to FAC. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:44, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review! Some more suggestions:

ALT1: ...that psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy each offer unique perspectives for studying the mind?

ALT2: ...that diverse fields study the mind, including psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy?

ALT3: ...that disorders of the mind can result from factors like genetic predispositions, maladaptive beliefs, and social circumstances?

ALT1 & ALT2 are about fields of inquiry, ALT3 is about mental disorders. Any preferences? Phlsph7 (talk) 08:19, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

I like ALT2 best, with the bold article in front. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:15, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Phlsph7 (talk) 10:21, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
