    This document outlines different philosophical perspectives on the relationship between mind, soul, self, and body. It shows that Aristotle viewed the soul as the essence of self, while Descartes argued the essence is a thinking entity. More modern thinkers like Paul Churchland, Gilbert Ryle, and David Hume rejected the idea of an immaterial mind, arguing that physical brain and experiences determine consciousness and self.
