Question

descartes has two very certian test, aside from these what a dditional tests are necessary to distinguish between human mind and a machine? do such tests exist?

Answer 1

Introduction- Rene Descartes was a highly influential French philosopher and also known as father of modern philosophy. Perhaps no question cuts to the heart of philosophy more quickly than weather animals have minds. Certainly, no question is more central to philosophical ethology.

In the influential study of Descartes’s two tests of mind, it is called attention to the fecundity and enduring legacy of Descartes’s Philosophical ethology. The discussion of the human mind and machine may be viewed as the seventieth and eighteenth century counterpart of virtually the whole cluster of recent discussions which have taken place on the topic which may be roughly called mentality and machines.

Descartes believed that human body and mind are two different entities and they are not depending each other to exit. He also believed that mind has extremly intimate connection to certain bodies that is to human bodies. Descartes understandings is that the mind is better off than the body than body and realizes he could learn from his body. We can learn from our bodies’ reaction like pain if we touch a flame, or pleasure if we drink a cup of tea or coffee, also we can learn from our senses when we see beautiful views.

The tests moreover than two test theories exists in virtual, Descartes enabled some ideas to follow the relation between mind and body as well as machine. Human mind get experiences from senses but the relation between mind and machine can be described with combination of mind and machines.

According to my opinion the Descartes’s Tests are not enough to distinguish between man and animals because Descartes had chosen only some aspects but now we have many philosophical comparison.

We should think about biological and sociological aspect of human and animals, Descartes have a firm opinion on mid and body concepts but never explained combination concepts and comparison with respect to collective views.
