How can non-physical interact with the physical?
In cartesian dualism the pineal gland was seen as the point of connection, we now know the pineal gland controls the sleep-wake cycle.

What is the implication and criticism of Cartesian dualism?
Cartesesian Dualism is seeing immaterial 'mind' as superior over body. It leads to accepting immaterial 'understanding' as possible, knowing what is 'good' without experience. That way the Pope can say: sex without condom is not cause of AIDS. Western Society is based on Cartesian Dualism. Quite opposed to 'neurology': "everything is physical"
Give me 2 examples of problems that can be solve through cartesian coordinate system?
1.Finding the solution to a system of linear equations can be found using cartesian coordinates. 2. Graph a circle and you can find the radius using cartesian coordinates.
Is a cartesian plane the same as a cartesian coordinate?
The cartesian coordinates are plotted on the cartesian plane
Why did René Descartes invent the Cartesian coordinate plane?
It enabled mathematicians to apply algebra to solve geometric problems.
Two number lines which intersect form a Cartesian coordinate system if?
they are perpendicular.
Does the word Cartesian in Cartesian Dualism derive from Descartes and if not then from where?
yes
What impact did the Cartesian Dualism doctrine have on the formation of psychology as a formal discipline of study?
Cartesian Dualism named after it's creator Rene Descartes described the separation of mind and body as distinct aspects of a human being. Mind being immaterial and body as material. Mind is invisible, doesn't take up any space, and doesn't move. Cartesian dualism states that the mind can have a direct impact on the body (e.g. deciding to quit smoking causes the body to put the cigarettes down), and the body can have a direct impact on the mind (e.g. touching something hot causes the mind to send the message "move away"). Psychology is completely based on Cartesian Dualism, psyche = mind. Psychology originated as the 'science' that treats the 'mind' when something is 'wrong'. That way in the starting years of 'psychology' gays were treated because of 'wrong' sexual behavior.
What is Cartesian plane in algebra?
The Cartesian plane is a 2 dimensional space of infinite extent in all directions. It has two axes at right angles to each other with a positive direction assigned to each. The axes intersect at a point called the origin. Every point in the plane can be uniquely identified by its distance from the origin along the two axes. The Cartesian plane allows problems in geometry can be reformulated in algebraic terms and this allows algebraic tools to be applied to geometric problems. Conversely, algebraic problems can presented in geometric form and geometric tools used to solve them. The Cartesian plane can be extended to 3 or more dimensions, where it makes use of Cartesian coordinates.
What is the need for conversion of polar coordinate to Cartesian coordinate?
Some problems are easier to solve using polar coordinates, others using Cartesian coordinates.
What are the two divisions of philosophies?
There are actually four major divisions of philosophy; they are Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logic and Ethics. But these four divisions are under Dualism and Non Dualism.
The belief that the world is controlled by two opposing forces good and evil?
dualism
What is the cartesian system used for?
The Cartesian system allows you to describe a geometric shape in algebraic terms. This allows algebraic techniques, such as differentiation or integration to be applied to solve problems in geometry. Conversely, geometrical results can be used to solve problems in algebra.
When was Dualism - album - created?
Dualism - album - was created on 2011-09-23.
What is the Dualism in Indian Economy?
Dualism is economic and social divisions of an economy. The social dualism in India is the coexistence of advanced science, superstitions and the cost system. Technical dualism in India is the Green Revolution in the top 10% of their rural population. Geographical dualism is the labor migration, capital movements and trade.
What is quadrant in cartesian coordinate system?
The x-and the y-axes of the two dimensional Cartesian coordinate system divide the plane in four. Each of these is a quadrant.
A set of ordered pairs is called?
Cartesian product is the name that refers to the set of the ordered pairs. The Cartesian product of two sets A and B is AB.
What is the Cartesian product?
A Cartesian product of two sets is a set that contains all ordered pairs, such that the first item is from the first set and the second item from the second set. (It can be the same set twice, instead of two different sets.) For example, the Cartesian product of the sets {A, B} and {1, 2, 3} is the set of pairs: {(A, 1), (A, 2), (A, 3), (B, 1), (B, 2), (B, 3)} In general, the Cartesian product has a number of elements that is the product of the number of elements of the two products that make it up. A Cartesian product can also be defined for more than two sets. Cartesian products are very important as the basis of mathematics. For example, relations are subsets of Cartesian products. Note that functions are a special type of relation.
