Question

1. Watch out for metaphysics in searching for these answers: metaphysics depends on a magical intrepretation.
2. This link will get you started on these classical questions.

Descartes wrote extensively on this, and I suspect your prof wants you to explore that body of work.



Answer this Question

Is a person more than a physical body? What is mind? What is thought?

I am having trouble finding information on the following:
1. Principal issues on these questions
2. Philosopies related to these questions (I have "I think therefore I am" --Rene Descartes)
3. Misconceptions about these questions

I don't know much about philosophy so I am needing some help. Thanks


Thanks, this site helped a lot.
