'We are completely determined', d'Holbach refers to "those who have affirmed that the soul is distinguished from the body .... " (P&V, 395). Reread this description and d'Holbach's essay and address the following: 1. Would Descartes qualify as one of those whom d'Holbach is referring to? 2.

What objections does d'Holbach raise against the distinction of immaterial souls and bodies? What then does he conclude about our supposed freedom? 4. What is your position on minds (souls) & bodies? [see P&V, pp. 288- 291 for the various options] 5. What is your position on whether humans posses a free will, and if so, what do you mean by freedom? [see P&V, pp. 390 -394 for the various options]
