Does Darwinism Undermine Cartesian Dualism
1,858 wordsDoes Darwinism undermine Cartesian Dualism? In 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...
