The emphasis is on the fundamental intractability of these questions, and a theory is proposed as to why the human mind has so much difficulty in resolving them. This theory turns upon a naturalistic picture of the scope and limits of human intelligence.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eColin McGinn\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University, New Jersey, and lives in Manhattan.
