Bertalanffy, L. New Approach to the Problem of Soul and Body Translated by Rudneva, E. G.
Abstract:
As a rule, philosophers start with the proposition that dualism of the physical and spiritual worlds are something
undeniable. However, as psychology often proves, it is not so easy at all. Perception of very simple items such
as a chair, house, or a person is not only the sum of sensations or ‘sense data’ as philosophers — positivists like to
describe it. Perception is based on the gestalt of sense data plus memory plus formation of concepts, verbal and other
symbols plus conditions for a proper usage of the object and many other factors as well. Researches show that even
at laboratory perception is driven by one’s motivation and expected reward.
Keywords:
psychology, body, soul, philosophy, somatics, psychosomatics, dualism, interaction, biology, experience.
