Cartesian Dualism and the Union of Mind and Body

Combination of Descartes Dualism and Mind and Body Abstract: Cartesian dualism and combination of thought and body are often understood as contradictory concepts. In the temporal interpretation, Descartes was believed to be the first dualist (in meditation) and later developed his position for body and mind (passion). Some authors did not find a solution to this problem. Nevertheless, over the past 20 years several explanations have been developed to actively solve the difficult relationship between Descartes dualism and the thought and body combination.

Descartes' debate about the appearance raises one of the most mysterious questions in his dualistic philosophy: What is the union between the heart and the human body? Thus, Descartes 'dualism established an agenda for philosophical discussion of mind - and - body problems for many years after Descartes' death. Descartes is also a rationalist who believes in the power of natural thinking. Descartes shows the theory of congenital knowledge, and all humans are born through the higher power of God. It was this congenital knowledge theory that later philosopher John Rock (1632-1704) led the opposition to empiricism theory, arguing that all knowledge was obtained through experience.

What is so dangerous? In order to find the answer, we need to look back over the "Father of modern philosophy" René Descartes during the 4th century. Together with him, we have created our modern concept of mind and body dualism (later called "Descartes dualism"), whose mind and body are seen as two different substances - spirit and matter - It was. Before Descartes, of course, this idea was supported by churches and other philosophers, but his role was to incorporate it into a prosperous scientific worldview. Regarding Descartes dualism, there are two other ways of viewing, but we believe that we are all natural today. The first is free will. Descartes wrote in his "passion of soul": "Will is inherently free and never limited," he said of all our decisions, our character and our behavior I believe that it comes from our hearts. From our soul. Therefore, we will ultimately bear ethical and other responsibilities for ourselves and our actions.
