Hello all!
Back with another fill! Wanted to challenge myself a bit this time! 😊
This script was written by the extremely talented /u/totallynotnatalie.
The author’s synopsis: Rene Descartes famously corresponded with Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia for several years. She was one of the first to point out a problem with Descartes' theory that the mind (or soul in his time) and the body were distinct substances. The body was a material substance that was divisible and the mind an immaterial substance that was indivisible. Elisabeth, rightly, questioned how two such distinct substances could interact. If the mind is immaterial, how can its intentions compel the body to move? Most people like that Descartes never gives her a satisfying answer (hence why few people are substance dualists anymore).
You can find the audio here.
Thanks!
