Abstract:
The problem of mind-body relation is a central problem in the history of philosophy. From the very ancient period there have been discussions on this issue but it could not get prominent position. In modern period it is Descartes who brought the old problem in a new way. He holds the view that mind and body are two dependent substances and thereby he is called a dualist philosopher. He is the most influential dualistic philosopher in modern philosophy.
