Descartes and the Secularization of Modern Philosophy

This paper discusses two matters that are of enduring theological importance, especially today: (a) the cogito and (b) mind-body interaction.

The former poses a problem for naturalism and the second gives us reason to reject the naturalist case against theism on the grounds that it involves non-physical causal power(s).

The paper concludes with a note for Christian philosophers: We should be wary of Christian physicalists who charge that ‘dualism’ involves a radical bifurcation of person and body.
