The mind is definitely stronger than the body. The mind is a very powerful thing, it controls your emotions, reactions, and it attracts negative or positive things to your life, depending on your attitude towards life, If you're a positive person, positive things are more than likely to happen to you.
Descartes argues that the mind is independent of the body (and so not the body), because he can conceive of it existing without the body. Now if the mind can exist without the body, then it cannot be the same thing as the body.But from just Descartesâ thought, we cannot infer this.escartesâ claim that the mindâs essential property is thinking, damage to certain parts of. the brain can make someone unable to think. So alterations in the body can affect the. essential property of the mind; so the mind does not have even its essential property. independently of the body.
