Over the years psychologists have many conflicts as it relates to the mind and body and i believe that such controversy exists today. Damasio quote Descartes as saying that the mind and the body are separate entities , he also quoted Spinoza who sad that the mind and the body are not seperate but works in unity to create an individual with the many functions to live an active and balance lifestyle. he mentions other living things that they have a body to have and emotion but it stops there because there is no feeling . he also talk about humans that our bodies respond to emotionally competent stimuli but afterward the mind kicks in and allows us to be happy or sad, so i would agree with Damasio that the mind and body are not two different entities but a joint entity which makes up the individual
