Compare and Contrast Aristotle, Descartes, Searle, and Percy on the Nature of the Mind and Body in the context of the Mind-Body Problem. How do they/might they solve it? Can any of their positions offer a compelling solution to the Mind-Body Problem?[1]
What exactly is the mind-body problem? How do each of their positions come out of their understanding of "nature" viz a viz the nature of the mental and the physical? How do each conceive of "soul" (and if not the “soul”, then “mind”)?
[1] If you argue that none of the philosophers offer a compelling solution, you must give an argument for that conclusion.
