... body without the mind, and what is the mind without the body? Descartes failed to consider this type of questioning. But it was in the nature of his religion to guide him on a path that would not question this. For many Catholics, the mind and the soul are two separate and distinct entities. He started work on Le Monde (translation: The ... "Discours de la method pour bien conduire sa raison et chercher la verite dans les sciences", "La Dioptrique", "Les Meteores," and most importantly "La Geometrie." In The Geometry, Descartes unites topics of Algebra and Geometry in a way that no othe...
