cartesian dualsim
In this essay, I will endeavour to explain the theory of Cartesian Dualism, describe how this view came into being, and set out the arguments for and against this theory. ... Cartesian Dualism, named after Renee Descartes (1596-1650), is a theory about the philosophical problem of Mind and Body. Cartesian Dualism has been described as “the doctrine that mental states are states of an immaterial substance that interacts with the body” (Theodore, 65). ... There are still individuals that would have us believe that Cartesian Dualism is possible, and this may be the case, but it seems to me that the odds are stacked rather high against it.
