The French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650) argued that the natures of mind and body are completely different from one another and that each could exist by itself. How can these two structures with different natures causally interact in order to give rise to a human being with voluntary bodily motions and sensations? Even today, the problem of mind-body causal interaction remains a matter of debate.
法国哲学家勒内·笛卡尔(1596 - 1650)认为,心灵和身体的本质截然不同,且各自都能独立存在。那么,这两种具有不同本质的结构是如何进行因果互动,从而产生一个具有自主身体运动和感觉的人的呢?即便在今天,身心因果互动问题仍然是一个争论的焦点。
