Document Summary

Fist hitting hand, the reason it moves is because they are impenetrable (cartesian dualism: bodies are impenetrable, but i(cid:374) dualis(cid:373), (cid:373)i(cid:374)ds are (cid:374)ot i(cid:373)pe(cid:374)etrable . So she thinks we can explain how a mind moves a body then cuz its penetrable. Sail boat (cid:449)ith i(cid:373)pe(cid:374)etrable sails (cid:373)o(cid:448)es by (cid:449)i(cid:374)d But if they (cid:449)ere i(cid:373)pe(cid:374)etrable the(cid:374) it (cid:449)ould(cid:374)"t. Impenetrability required for m --> b interaction: paint dissimilarity. Agaiusb descartes: all beings are active and alive, all beings are impenetrable, universal transmutability.
