Hey, put away the dictionary; you're stealing my methods of dealing
with Da Group. I feel that Cartesian Dualism is about two Cartisians
Dueling it out under the old oak tree. Really check me out later and
ask me something besides a philosophical question. I'm all worn out
trying to being reasonable all week

The body is extended matter: the soul is unextended spirit. When,
however, the extended is acted upon by the unextended, some definite
point of interaction is required and it is to be found in the pineal
gland. Yet the "soul is united to all parts of the body conjointly." The
whole body is the soul's proper housing so long as the body remains
intact. When a member of the body--an arm or a leg, for example--is cut
off, there is no loss of part of the soul as a consequence because the
soul is unitary and indivisible. It then occupies what is left of the
body.

So without attempting to resolve all the problems, he simply stated that
there is a dualism of mind and body, and their interaction is clearly
real. The brain is the major locus for the mind or consciousness of the
soul, yet mind or consciousness is distributed throughout the whole
body. The point of interaction between the two is the pineal gland.

Descartes lent his authority to the long-held view that the mind is
associated in a particular way with the brain, but he made mind and
brain separate entities, dependent upon each other only as a fountain
pen and ink are interdependent. The pen will not write without the ink
and the ink carries no message without the pen.
