An Introduction to Cartesian Interactive Dualism

Authors: Richard L Amoroso

The noetic model of Cartesian interactive dualism is the first mind-body theory of any kind to explain qualia in physical, rather than just philosophical terms. The formal delineation of the life principle or élan vital explains not only the origin of self-organization in complex living systems, providing the basis for the first comprehensive dualist theory, but also is what makes the model empirically testable allowing this volume to make history. The floodgates seem about to open to almost unimaginable advances in the field of consciousness studies. This monograph introduces a comprehensive empirically testable model of dualism-interactionism to legitimize the interactionist model at a level tantamount to any other avenue of epistemological investigation of the mind-body problem.
