Description

Explore the complexities of the mind-body problem with Descartes and the Metaphysics of Human Nature. Part of the Continuum Studies in Philosophy series, this work examines the traditional account of the union between the immaterial, thinking mind and the material, non-thinking body. Justin Skirry addresses the fundamental question of how causal interaction occurs between the spiritual mind and the physical body. If these two entities have nothing in common and cannot come into contact, how does the mind cause physical events like the raising of an arm, or how does the body produce sensations like seeing a tree? This book provides a deep look into these philosophical challenges regarding efficient causation and the nature of human existence. This edition is a used book in good condition, making it a practical choice for students, researchers, and philosophy enthusiasts looking to study historical schools of thought. It offers a clear examination of Descartes' theories and the logical problems that arise from his metaphysical framework.
