"The mind\u2013body problem is the problem of explaining how our mental states, events and processes\u2014like beliefs, actions and thinking\u2014are related to the physical states, events and processes in our bodies, given that the human body is a physical entity and the mind is non-physical.The problem was famously addressed by Ren\u00E9 Descartes in the 17th century, resulting in Cartesian dualism, and by pre-Aristotelian philosophers, in Avicennian philosophy, and in earlier Asian traditions."@en . . . . .
