This is a work in progress seminar by a graduate student of the department\, Ross Carter.

\n

Descartes claimed that &ldquo\;we can clearly and distinctly perceive the mind without the body and the body without the mind.&rdquo\; This means\, he claimed\, that &ldquo\;the concept of the body includes nothing at all which belongs to the mind\, and the concept of mind includes nothing at all which belongs to the body.&rdquo\; These Cartesian assertions gave birth to dualist and anti-dualist theories of mind that have bedevilled English-speaking philosophy with unrelenting conflict for at least a century. Recently some philosophers have suggested that Aristotle&rsquo\;s hylomorphic psychology may yield resources to provide a persuasive counter to Descartes&rsquo\; separation of mind and body. This presentation will discuss whether Aristotle&rsquo\;s account of the soul as the form the body in the De Anima can be taken to support this contention. \;
