order for us to analyze the effect, caused by
Darwinism on mind and body theory of Cartesian
Dualism, it needs to be briefly mentioned what
these two theories stand for. Although one of them
is clearly philosophical and another is associated
more with Biology as a practical science, it
appears that Darwinism has many properties of just
an abstract system of beliefs, so, in a way, it is
more appropriate to talk of more advanced
philosophical system u...

and the body. Socrates and Plato are called
dualists because they think that mind and body are
separate and distinct substances. Mind is

not conscious. While separate, the t...
