Damasio`s Error and Descartes` Truth ? An Inquiry into Consciousness, Metaphysics, and Epistemology : University of Chicago Press : 9781589661271 : 1589661273 : 29 Jul 2008 : The question of the relationship between mind and body as posed by Descartes, Spinoza, and others remains a fundamental debate for philosophers. In Damasio&;s Error and Descartes&; Truth, Andrew Gluck constructs a pluralistic response to the work of neurologist Antonio Damasio. Gluck critiques the neutral monistic assertions found in Descartes&; Error and Looking for Spinoza from a philosophical perspective, advocating an adaptive theory&;physical monism in the natural sciences, dualism in the social sciences, and neutral monism in aesthetics. Gluck&;s work is a significant and refreshing take on a historical debate.
