Abstract

In a recent book, the neuroscientist Antonio Damasio used the phrase ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã…"No body, never mindÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‚Â to sum up the ways in which Spinoza prefigured much recent neurobiology in his conception of a psychophysical parallelism. As Damasio (213) explains, Spinoza ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã…"is stating that the idea of an object in a given mind cannot occur without the existence of the body; or without the occurrence of certain modifications on that body as caused by the object, No body, never mindÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‚Â.
