Our minds and body correlate to each other and are the reason we can move and willingly do what we want. However, are our minds and body distinct? Can we even exist without a mind or without a body? Rene Descartes’ theory of “Mind-Body Dualism” discusses such philosophical questions and claims that although our mind and bodies are synced, they are not similar by way of division. Many questions remain on how “Mind-Body Dualism” works, many of which will be discussed in this paper, beginning with…

The Legendary Fall “About suffering they were never wrong,” Landscape with the fall of Icarus both the painting and poem displays a level of suffering that should not happen to anyone but, sadly it does. The painting gives you more of a visual approach as to what is happening and you can draw your own conclusion. This painting displays quite and unnoticed because it shows someone drowning and everyone else turning a blind eye. The poem on the other hand is clarifying what is happening in the…

XXVII: Identity and Diversity, John Locke begins by saying that we only have ideas of three substances which are God, finite intelligence, and bodies. John Locke then goes on to state that personal identity also has to to do with the the string of consciousness and has nothing to do with remaining the same substance or matter which is either physical or mental. John Locke states, “When we consider something as existing at a given time and place and compare it with itself existing at another…

reduce it to a merely moving-image beyond the constraints of cinema or provide the reader with an overview of key works that fall under the category . Nonetheless, it progressively seems to be associated with the expansion of space, extension of consciousness, immediacy of viewing or real time as well as is simultaneously utilised as a definition for experimental mixed-media works.

Substance Dualism is a theory of mind that asserts the thesis that there exists the mind (nonphysical) and the body (physical) and that they are two distinct substances. Moreover, it identifies a being immediately with their mind and only secondarily with their body. Logical Behaviorism is branch of philosophical behaviorism. Behaviorism, essentially, is the thesis that mental states, if they exist, are identical to behavioral states. Logical Behaviorism posits that descriptions of mental states…

understanding of the dichotomy of the human psyche? While studying and comparing the positive notion of creation and the detrimental effect destruction has on an individuals being we begin to comprehend the complicated and dichotomous nature of human consciousness. William Shakespeare’s Elizabethan drama Macbeth (1606) and the Romantic poems of William Blake ‘London’ (1794) and ‘Human Abstract’ (1794) each validate the convoluted emotions of love and betrayal whilst exploring their different…

alive in the way that it is when it has a body to carry it around in, but, as the puppeteer reminds readers, science has yet to discover a source or reason for life and human consciousness. Because of this it is accurate to say that a person’s mind lives on long after that person is able to articulate his or her consciousness, or in other words, dies. Masamune uses the morphing of the puppeteer’s and Major Kusanagi’s ghosts to illustrate this idea. “Let’s fuse together like flowing clouds,…

I was born with a rare liver disease called glycogen storage disease, type 1A—a condition most general practitioners excitedly tell me they remember reading about once in a genetics class back in med school. In fact, it will affect only one in 100,000 people. I spent a good portion of my childhood in hospitals. New doctors and a revolving door of nurses substituted for my playmates. Tubes, needles and medicine took the place of toys…
