S1E8 - The Mind-Body Problem: why we still think in dualistic terms

Update: 2025-03-30

Description

Today we discuss the Mind-Body problem: we explore the roots of dualism with Plato and Descartes, how they still influence the way we think today, and the neuroscientific view, with Damasio, that proposes that the mind and body are not separate at all.

Books mentioned in this episode:

Antonio Damasio "Descartes' Error"
