Abstract

Addresses one of the most unfolding questions that has already
been addressed to Cartesian philosophy, how can the soul move the
body, in the letter addressed to Elisabeth of May 21, 1643. This calls for a
reflection on how Descartes so safely established the order of reasons in
Meditations, and how he placed the substantial union within it, because
in Correspondence it was stated that this union can not be understood by
reason.
