About this episode

This is the 7th episode of our series on Western Philosophy. What you would encounter is a reading, commentary and explanation of texts including but not limited to Yasin Masih's Western Philosophy.

In this episode we move ahead of Rene Descartes' doubt and skepticism to establishing the existence of Mind and Body and how the two interact. We explore the difficulty Descartes faces and how he tries to deal with it. Does he succeed? The answer is in this session.

This series follows closely with the UPSC syllabus as prescribed for Philosophy Optional Paper 1 and hence can be of great use to any students trying to develop an understanding for the same.
