Mind-Body Dualism, Rene Descartes

Explanation:

One of the deepest phenomena of Descartes is a mind-body distinction, which is now called as mind-body dualism. He focused on that nature of the mind is totally different from the nature of the body.

Mind and soul both more or less the same things. There are fundamental premises that mind and body both are different from one another.
