Meditations VI

The issue of mind and body in Med 6 is controversial. There is an unexplainable connection between the two, however, they are very different. Will the mind outlive the body because the mind is something that is always existing and we cannot see it? Or will the body outlive the mind because the mind is not capable of doing anything without the body? Descartes kind of goes back and forth with this one because going back to his previous ideas in discourse, he believes there is no doubt in truth.
