ABSTRACT
With respect to the treatment of body, I hold that Descartes has a rather good argument for at least part of the conclusion he wishes to reach in the Second Meditation-but this argument unfortunately does not appear in the Meditations themselves. The argument that does appear in the Meditations is, I think, terribly obscure-and gives the impression that Descartes is concerned with problems quite different from the ones that are really at issue.
