This question goes all the way back to Plato and Aristotle, but Rene Descartes kicked off the modern debate in his famous &amp;ldquo;Meditations on First Philosophy.&amp;rdquo; In this episode we take a look at the arguments for and against &amp;ldquo;dualism,&amp;rdquo; or the idea that minds and bodies are different things. We talk about substance dualism, property dualism and review the latest philosophical research on the mind-body problem. We also take a look at how zombies can help us figure out philosophical problems, what Paco&amp;rsquo;s new toothbrush can tell us about consciousness and whether you&amp;rsquo;d be able to buy snacks if you worked inside a thought experiment.
