This mind, not being in space, seems unable to get any leverage on physical things, so it becomes entirely mysterious how, when I make up my mind to do something in the material world, I can possibly bring it about. en P.

Strawson further argues that the very notion of a non-spatial particular, such as an ego is supposed to be, lacks intelligibility, for how can we understand how it is possible that there be two such which are otherwise the same when they cannot be distinguished spatially? en The Physical Basis of Mental Illness Ronald Chase Transaction Publishers New Brunswick;London 2012 9781412842648 2011009016 34 https://archive.org/details/physicalbasisofm0000chas/page/34/mode/1up?view=theater Cartesian dualism makes intuitive sense; is seems so obvious that it just must be right. For example, I decide that I will move my hand in a precise manner—up, down, sideways—and then, whenever I am ready, I do it. Obviously, a thought in my mind commands the movement in my hand. en Philosophy of Mind: A Contemporary Introduction 3rd John Heil Routledge New York;London 2013 9780415891745 2012019915 12-13 https://archive.org/details/john-heil-philosophy-of-mind-a-contemporary-introduction/page/12/mode/1up?view=theater The bad news is that Cartesian dualism makes the interface between minds and bodies — mind—body interaction — wholly mysterious. How could substances sharing no attributes causally interact? en substance en philosophy en substance dualism the doctrine. en David Castillejo The Formation of Modern Objectivity Ediciones de Arte y Bibliofilla Madrid 1982 8485005619 217 https://archive.org/details/formationofmoder0000cast/page/217/mode/1up?view=theater The Cartesian dualism is the crowning achievement of individual objectivity. It states the fundamental principles of the classical scientific method: that the scientist or observer is not included in the system he is observing; that his system of knowledge is related to the thinking individual ‘I’ has a position in space, yet is himself paradoxically separate from it. en Brainwashing: The Science of Thought Control Kathleen Taylor Oxford University Press Oxford 2004 9780199204786 116 https://archive.org/details/HarborLibrary-Psychology/凯瑟琳·泰勒：Brainwashing——The%20Science%20of%20Thought%20Control/page/116/mode/1up This conservative principle is associated with one of the most influential ideas in Western thought: Cartesian dualism, the doctrine I have labelled as diamond minds. Dualism is the philosopher René Descartes’ notion that selves are ‘thinking things’, mysterious entities on the (posh) incorporeal side of a strict division between high mind and lower matter. If minds are as different from bodies as Descartes suggested, we wouldn’t expect changes in bodies to have any effects on minds.
