The Mind/Body Problem

Abstract: 7 pages in length. Descartes' desire to draw attention to and garner acceptance of his all-encompassing body/mind notion originated at the very foundation of knowledge and rose to the top to absolute knowledge with the initial step being that of his groundbreaking concept of other minds thoroughly developed in Discourse on Method and Meditations. Descartes' attempt to define the notion of other minds brought him in direct contact with ideas that postulated the very essence of spiritual and physical being, inasmuch as the philosopher meticulously contemplated the various pathways an individual must travel to inevitably reach the awareness of how minds do, indeed, exist separate from on another. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
