Descartes imagined walking through his brain and never seeing a thought. This led him to think that our mind is separate from our brain and part of our soul. If Descartes is correct, how might he explain the observations that our chemical structure and our brain can be measured for changes that are directly related to emotions, thoughts, fears, panic, and other things that he attributes to the soul?

Meditations on First Philosophy: In Which the Existence of God and the Distinction of the Soul from the Body Are Demonstrated $3.18 Many other matters respecting the attributes of God and my own nature or mind remain for consideration; but I shall possibly on another occasion resume the investigation of these.

Descartes’ Dualism $135 Contending against the prevailing view that Cartesian dualism is fundamental to understanding Descartes’s philosophy, Gordon Baker and Katherine Morris present a controversial examination of Descartes’s philosophy. As the first full-length study of Descartes’s conception of the person, Baker and Morris depart radically from traditional representations of Descartes’s argument about the persona, the cogito, and the alleged mind/body dualism. Contesting the nearly institutionalized view that Cartesian duality is central to understanding Descartes, Baker and Morris illuminate how this reading has put ascribed mistakingly, erroneously onto Descartes. They show controversially, how this interpretation has led to both abuse both within philosophy and beyond it. Refusing to draw a distinction between the mind and the body in traditional ways, Baker and Morris open up interesting ways of conceptualizing both ourselves and philosophy itself. |
