Clues

  • Descartes hasn't explained anything with this appeal to ideal of union. (7)
  • If the mind is not spatial, how can it be continuous with the body, and thus how can it cause it to do anything? (8, 9)
  • Mind-body union will help us understand how the mind interacts with the body (9, 8)
  • Standing on the nail I feel the pain in my foot. I do not have a mental sign that my foot is injured. My mind is right there in my foot. (Modern Philosophy: this is an illusion) (4, 4, 5)
  • There is more than one Descartes: a ‘dualist’, and a ‘unionist’ (2, 9, 1, 7)
  • You still have to explain how that 'joining and intermingling’ or ‘confusion’ can apply to you if you are, incorporeal, un-extended and indivisible. If you are no larger than a point, how are you jointed to the entire body, which is so large? (8)
