- Descartes couldn’t explain human will and use of [[Language]] as a mechanism so he introduced a new principal, one of the mind and body, the Decartian [[Dualism]]. - However, in less then a century’s time [[Isaac Newton]] proved this theory wrong. He proved that the body is not a machine, and although he couldn’t explain it himself the [[Facts]] where there. Things influence other things (matter) without actually touching - he was ridiculed for this and told he was reintroducing old fashioned, superstitious, mythical [[Thinking]]. But he was right, despite his own bewilderment at these facts himself. So, he proved that there is no ghost in the machine, or to be more precise, the ghost stayed where it always had been, but there was no machine!! `Concepts:` `Knowledge Base:`
