- ... are going to try and determine now by looking at both perspectives with the help of Descartes and some of his philosophical ideals as well as some personal thoughts. The body is sometimes in complete control of us without our knowledge. The example that demonstrates this ideal is the autonomic nervous system in our bodies.
