Originally published in 1965. For hundreds of years the thinking of
philosophers, psychologists, and theologians on the problem of the
mind's relation to the body was dominated by the Cartesian notion
that mind and matter are distinct substances. That Descartes also
held that there is a union of mind and matter, in a person, has
largely been ignored. This may be because, as he admitted in his
private correspondence, it is impossible to think of mind and
matter both as being distinct substances and also as being, in some
sense, united. The fact of mind being united with matter in a
person - our experience of ourselves as embodied minds - cannot be
accounted for on Cartesian principles. This book rejects the
panaceas of the Double Aspect Theory and the Identity Theory and
investigates the possibility of accommodating this experience
within a conceptual framework derived from Kant, the basis of which
is the concept of mind, not as immaterial substance, but as a
subject related, in experience, to its objects.
