  • History of the Psychology. A TimeLine of psychological ideas, by Marcos Emanoel Pereira, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Brazil http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/6061/en_linha.htm. La page contient "René Descartes postulates the total separation of body and soul in the book Passions of the Soul". Cette formulation est pourtant suspecte à la lumière de fautes grossières comme "History of the Psychology".
  • West Coast College of Massage Therapy http://www.wccmt.edu/remembering.html. "In 1642 French philosopher Rene Descartes published a book which has played a central role in both modern philosophy and science.  The book, titled “Meditations on First Philosophy”, provided a comprehensive worldview based on the separation of body and mind."

  • Philosophic Inquiry In Sport (book) http://www.newsearching.com/sports_book6/Philosophic_Inquiry_In_Sport__book_.html. On y trouve les deux, donc opposition au moins implicite: "Chapter 8. The Separation of Body and Soul, Plato. Chapter 9. The Real Distinction Between the Mind and Body of Man, René Descartes."
