In the sixth meditation entitled “Concerning the Existence of Material Things and the Real Distinction Between Mind and Body”, one important thing that Descartes explores is the relationship between mind and body. Descartes believes that the mind and body are separate and are two different substances. He believes this to be clearly and distinctly true, which is a Cartesian quality of true knowledge. I, however, do not agree that the mind and body are separate and that the mind can exist without the body. First I will present Descartes' position on mind/body dualism and his demonstration of these ideas. Second, I will discuss why I think his argument is weak and offer my own ideas that challenge his reasoning while keeping in mind how he might challenge my argument. Descartes argues that the mind and body can be thought of as separate substances. Descartes writes: “I have a body which is nevertheless very closely united to me, because... I have a clear and distinct idea of ​​myself, in that I am simply a thinking thing and not an extended thing and because... I have a distinct idea of ​​a body, inasmuch as it is merely an extended thing and not a thinking thing, it is certain that I am really distinct from my body and can exist without it” (Descartes 50). With this quote, Descartes is saying that the mind and body are separate because he has two distinct ideas of body and mind and the body is not a thinking thing like him but an extended substance. Another point of Descartes' argument is that the mind and body are different because one is indivisible and the other is divisible. Descartes writes that “a body, by its very nature, is always divisible. On the other hand, the mind is absolutely indivisible” (53). Here we are saying that there are... half of the paper... the mind is something that cannot be divisible but is difficult to see because I have already shown that according to my understanding the mind has parts. It is also difficult to think of a mind or soul that does not have things like memory and personality, so I believe Descartes' argument is false. In short, I have summarized Descartes' position on the relationship between mind and body. I next discussed two objections to his argument that were related to the mind existing without the body and that the mind is not divisible while discussing how Descartes might have responded to these arguments. These arguments adequately demonstrate that Descartes' argument for mind/body dualism is false. "Descartes, Meditations on First Philosophy." Readings on modern philosophy. Ed.
