Document Summary
Is the scientific study of ourselves: the science of psychology turned 100 years old. Is the idea of attributing a soul to an inanimate object e. g. thinking that the world was made up of one or the other of the four elements (fire, water, earth, air). When you let go of the key in your hand, it falls down. Because the keys like to hang with earth. When you breathe out, you don"t see the smoke going down to earth, you see it go up. Dualism: rene descartes (philosopher) had a lot of social issues/problems in life and when he was 18/17 he had a nervous breakdown. His doctor told him to chill: saw a beautiful statue in the park called diana, goddess of the hunt and walked down a path towards it. As a he was walking a statue of neptune came out of the bushes, baring a trident and blocking his path.
