  How do we (basically) conceptualize a human being or, say, any `person`? Is he just his `body`? Or a `mind` too -- besides his `body`? What, then, is `mind`, or how is it related to `body`? And since `body` is destructible, does man have `disembodied existence` as well? Addressing these age-old questions of fundamental importance, the book focusses on mind-body dualism. Which, despite its exposure to scathing criticisms, and even outright repudiations, has survived as a powerful dualistic tradition.

Alpana Chakraborty`s study is not a critique of mind-body dualism; but a coherent, quintessential review of the philosophical thinking that has, since Descartes` time, been invested in the shaping of this dualistic tradition, its theoretical parameters and its key issues. Also setting out Western concepts of `person`, `disembodied existence/survival`, and `bodily resurrection`, the author considers the Cartesian view of mind-body dualism, and how it compares with the dualism of traditional Indian Samkhya philosophy.

In her effort to spell out issues central to mind-body interaction, Dr. Chakraborty develops a vast historical framework from the acknowledged treatises/theories of Cottinghum, Don Locke, Gilbert Ryle, C.D. Broad, C.J. Ducasse, Nichlos Bohr, P.F. Srawson, and other Western philosophers -- including the very recent theories of `Complementarity` and `Meta-Linguistic Dualism`.

Invaluable to the scholars of philosophy, metaphysics and psychology.
