In His Meditations, René Descartes Asks, "What Am I?" His Initial Answer Is "A Man." But He Soon Discards It: "But What Is A Man? Shall I Say 'A Rational Animal'? No: For Then I Should Inquire What An Animal Is, What Rationality Is, And In This Way One Question Would Lead Down The Slope To Harder Ones." Instead Of Understanding What A Man Is, Descartes Shifts To Two New Questions: "What Is Mind?" And "What Is Body?" These Questions Develop Into Descartes's Main Philosophical Preoccupation: The Mind-Body Distinction.
How Can Mind And Body Be Independent Entities, Yet Joined?essentially So?within A Single Human Being? If Mind And Body Are Really Distinct, Are Human Beings Merely A "Construction"? On The Other Hand, If We Respect The Integrity Of Humans, Are Mind And Body Merely Aspects Of A Human Being And Not Subjects In And Of Themselves?
For Centuries, Philosophers Have Considered This Classic Philosophical Puzzle. Now, In This Compact, Engaging, And Long-Awaited Work, Ucla Philosopher Joseph Almog Closely Decodes The French Philosopher's Argument For Distinguishing Between The Human Mind And Body While Maintaining Simultaneously Their Essential Integration In A Human Being. He Argues That Descartes Constructed A Solution Whereby The Trio Of Human Mind, Body, And Being Are Essentially Interdependent Yet Remain Each A Genuine Individual Subject.
Almog's Reading Not Only Steers Away From The Most Popular Interpretations Of Descartes, But Also Represents A Scholar Coming To Grips Directly With Descartes Himself. In Doing So, Almog Creates A Work That Cartesian Scholars Will Value, And That Will Also Prove Indispensable To Philosophers Of Language, Ontology, And The Metaphysics Of Mind.
