NOTES ON PHILOSOPHICAL STUDIES of Elizabeth of Bohemia.
She had greek latin french, did math logics, philosophy science, did paintings.
Human being is the union of mind and body.
Descartes took for granted mind and body could be united.
Meditation 6 mind can wilfully move the body.
He claimed body is extension and mind is not extended, not located in space its some other thing, its thinking. People have misused the senses. We have to be careful with interpreting them.
Causal action. How can something that doesn't take up space cause a change in something that does? How do mind and body interact?
Malbranch thought God orchestrates the mind body connection.
Things touch one another and move one another- causal interaction seems unmysterious with body to body interaction.
He says no in second letter- shes trying to use body body interaction to explain mind-body interaction.
Descartes says we all have 3 primitive notions
Mind- notion of thought
Body- Notion of figure and movement
Mind-Body- perception of causation
Can’t be explained, just concepts we have.
Its primitive in sense it has no further explanation
The senses convey that mind body interaction take place.
Senses tell me that it's happening but not how.
Disconnected union, why body not functions the way mind speaks it to. Or wills it to.
Pineal gland is where mind and body connect or meet.
Clear and distinct perception with the senses. Pg. 13
