Damasio's view is that the mind and body both relate to one another. The body is grounded by the mind. Damasio discusses how both operate in relation to one another and not as separate entities. An example used in lecture was the feeling of hunger can encourage you to go eat however your mind doesn't necessarily push you to go get food. It is interesting as Descartes French philosopher saw the mind and body as separate entities- " mind and body dualism".
