Descartes' notion of the union of mind and body
Journal of the History of Philosophy 9 (2):159-170 (1971)
Abstract
In order to explain the possibility of causal interaction between the mind and the body, Descartes claims that they are substantially united. It is argued that descartes is unsuccessful in reconciling this union with the radical dualism which is fundamental to his philosophy. Recent claims that the union of mind and body poses no problem for descartes are shown to be untenableOther Versions
