Dualizem telesa in duše

Hudej, Franc (author)

Dualizem telesa in duše je navzoč v teologiji in svetih knjigah pri večini religij, pa tudi v filozofskih in psiholoških delih. Descartes je ugotavljal, da je telo sestavljeno iz materije duša pa ne, in da je telo končno - duša pa je neskončna. Spinoza je nasprotoval Descartesovi ideji o dualizmu duše in telesa. Ugotavljal je, da se v materiji skrivajo vse značilnosti neskončnosti,neomejenosti in nedoločnosti, zato imajo vsi pojavi svoj izvor v materiji. Najnovejše raziskave na področju živih celic, genoma in možganov ne potrjujejo dualizma telesa in duše. Telo ni le to, kar vidimo in otipamo, in tudi duša ni ločena entiteta, temveč sestavni del procesov v nevronski mreži. Damasio ugotavlja, da je človeško telo kompleksna in integrirana celota z možgani, ki se nenehno spreminja. Sodobna nevroznanost ugotavlja, da vse človekove umske aktivnosti, ki se pripisujejo duši, izhajajo iz možganov in da možgani in telo tvorijo enoten organizem.

Abstract

The dualism of body and soul is present in theology and the sacred books of most religions, as well as in philosophical and psychological works. Descartes realised that the body is composed of matter, the soul is not the body and that ultimately the soul is infinite. Spinoza opposed Descartes' idea of the dualism of soul and body. He realised that matter is behind all the features of infinity, indeterminacy and going so everything reveals its origins in matter. The latest research in the field of the live cell genome and the brain do not support the dualism of body and soul. The body is not only what we see and touch and the soul is not a separate entity but an integral part of the process in the neural network. Damasio notes that the human body is a complex and integrated whole with a brain that is constantly changing. Modern neuroscience recognises that all human mental activities attributable to the soul arise from the brain and that the brain and body form a single organism.
