AB - The Cartesian Dualism is one of the best-known and most controversial theses in Descartes’s philosophy. It was so pioneering that it has directly or indirectly influenced the history of post-Cartesianism, as well as a wide range of philosophical positions from French spiritualism to the contemporary philosophy. Today, scholars who deal with mind-body problems tend to be critical of Descartes’ treatment of the subject almost without exception. Nevertheless, given that Cartesian dualism is a highly metaphysical product, researches that attempted to contextualize how it grew and developed in the horizon of academics at his time are relatively meager. This paper emphasizes that the mind-body dualism was able to settle down thanks to the achievements of medicine at the time, especially anatomy, and argues that, contrary to some of the criticisms levied against Descartes, it was the philosophical cornerstone of early modern medicine with the spread of Cartesianism. Finally, this paper arouse the necessity of so-called cartesian medical history studies.
