Conway versus Descartes: God,
Soul, and Body
Lady Anne Conway’s views
 God
 Pure Substance
 Creator and maker of all things visible and invisible
 God created with a desire for the good
 God exist outside of time
 Soul
 Second most important substances after God
 Better than the body
 The soul feels bodily pain
 Body
 Exist as a dark and gross or corporeal spirit
 Difference between body and soul: body is nothing fixed and
condensed spirit; and spirit is nothing but volatile body or
body made subtle”
René Descartes’s views
 God
 Supremely perfect substance – God is his own existence
 God is not corporeal and Descartes is certain that God is
not a body
 Cannot be broken down
 Humans are clearly born with the knowledge of God
 Mind – Body Interaction
 The mind as a “thinking, non-extended thing” and the body
as a “extended, non –thinking thing”
 Mind cannot be understood to be shaped or in motion, nor
can a body understand or sense anything
 Mind an independent substance that helps the body
function
Comparison
Conway’s View Descartes’ View
 Acknowledges that
God is a perfect being
who created visible
and invisible things
 Soul and body one
substance that works
together.
 The soul feels bodily
pain
 There is a cause for
everything so he
knows that God exist
 Mind and body
interaction as two
completely different
substances that does
not need each other to
exist.
 the body feels pain,
not the soul
Conclusion
 Conway’s three elements shows how there is a
harmonious connection between God, the soul
and the body. God who created us; by creating a
body and given life into our body and providing
oversight amongst our lives. He created the body
the dust that was created when he established
the world. All factors that went into creating the
world were all done by God’s power. Human
beings are made from all the factors of the world
and of God, himself.
 Descartes choices to see God and the Mind –
body Interaction as two elements. There only a
connection between the mind and body.

Conway versus descartes

  • 1. Shekela Leggett April 20, 2015 PHIL 302 – Research project Conway versus Descartes: God, Soul, and Body
  • 2. Lady Anne Conway’s views  God  Pure Substance  Creator and maker of all things visible and invisible  God created with a desire for the good  God exist outside of time  Soul  Second most important substances after God  Better than the body  The soul feels bodily pain  Body  Exist as a dark and gross or corporeal spirit  Difference between body and soul: body is nothing fixed and condensed spirit; and spirit is nothing but volatile body or body made subtle”
  • 3. René Descartes’s views  God  Supremely perfect substance – God is his own existence  God is not corporeal and Descartes is certain that God is not a body  Cannot be broken down  Humans are clearly born with the knowledge of God  Mind – Body Interaction  The mind as a “thinking, non-extended thing” and the body as a “extended, non –thinking thing”  Mind cannot be understood to be shaped or in motion, nor can a body understand or sense anything  Mind an independent substance that helps the body function
  • 4. Comparison Conway’s View Descartes’ View  Acknowledges that God is a perfect being who created visible and invisible things  Soul and body one substance that works together.  The soul feels bodily pain  There is a cause for everything so he knows that God exist  Mind and body interaction as two completely different substances that does not need each other to exist.  the body feels pain, not the soul
  • 5. Conclusion  Conway’s three elements shows how there is a harmonious connection between God, the soul and the body. God who created us; by creating a body and given life into our body and providing oversight amongst our lives. He created the body the dust that was created when he established the world. All factors that went into creating the world were all done by God’s power.
