René Descartes once said: “There is a great difference between mind and body”. This statement comes from the idea that Descartes believed that there were two substances that made up reality. One of the substances that Descartes actually called extension, or material being, in the sense that it takes up space. The other has to do with the mind, or thought, which is immaterial. This is called dualistic metaphysics. Descartes began his exploration of the material and the immaterial through an epistemological deviation. This simply means discovering metaphysical truth through epistemological analysis. The question at stake is one that has continued for centuries: How are the mind and body independent of each other? To get an idea of ​​how the mind and body work together, Descartes had two ideas that he played with. The first was about the material being and how it is subject to obeying physical laws. The second idea is how the mind was able to move the question. This is confusing because it blows away the idea that matter, especially the human body, always obeys the law of matter. How can a thought cause an action? Descartes toyed with several theories. One of these theories, which even Descartes thought crazy, was that the mind, through the vital spirits, interacted with the physical body in the brain. This symbolic thought did not last. After contemplating this connection between mind and matter, some of Descartes' participants are believed to have developed a theory to explain the interaction between material and immaterial. The idea is known as parallelism. This is how it works, the mind doesn't make the body move. What really happens, according to them, is that the idea of ​​an action occurs and then an action actually happens. They thought it was the wi... in the middle of the card... you could complain and in your mind you're not really in it. However, once you start, you start to get into the action of the exercise, you're all in the mind and body. Once you're done with your workout, you're ready for whatever else comes your way. Physically you are stronger and I believe that thanks to the endorphins involved in your body you also recharge yourself mentally. Again I can rely on personal experience. Getting up and going to do some kind of activity is not always a priority. But it's a necessity. I agree with Descartes on this theory of the connection between mind and body. I've experienced this in my daily life and seen firsthand how your physical state can throw your mental state into haywire. The ideas derived from Descartes are impressive, and I can see how even today we tend to rely on some of those same concepts.
