Mental state is defined as mentation/thinking
Wiki needs mental state to have a definition and be cited at the get go, till a revision of the article is modernized,

.Substitute mentation or thinking in first paragraph for "mental state" its not complicated, you'll see. have a good day

The source you cited (
[1]) doesn't contain the term "mental state".

...That is the point, mental state is a phrase referencing thinking as attitudes of mentation...that thinking-mentation is a physical process like sensation and emotion even instinct-in the modern world now. My edit was to say mentation is about thinking while mental state in Wiki is about informal diagnosis in social conversation and hence could use 'definition' at it's start. The world changes one step at at a time,thanks

These seem to be your personal opinions. But the article should be based on reliable sources. Have a look at the section "Definition", it is well sourced and goes into detail on different approaches to defining mental states.

.Yes your right...I did thank you in View history...but I see your into philosophy, do you have an attitude towards 'being here now', is this a philosophical or metaphysical question today
Arnlodg (

I assume you mean
this book. I'm familiar with Hindu and Buddhist philosophy in general, but not with this book in particular. But discussions that don't concern changes to an article should be held in the
user space, not on article talk pages.

.I'll look into
user space, I meant (oneself) being here now as a practice/exercise in everyday living that philosophers, as a group activity, might be working with today, thanks again
