PUGLISI, Rodolfo. Repensando el debate monismo versus dualismo en la antropología del cuerpo. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2014, n.40, pp.73-95. ISSN 1850-275X.

Within the field of anthropology of the body, experts have historically discussed the monism-dualism debate, which involves comparative reflection of the mind-body, person-world links in different societies. This paper examines and complicates two aspects of the debate: a) The thinking of Descartes, an ever-present interlocutor in the discussion, is partially characterized, obviating relevant aspects of his work and b) Ethnographic data, such as triadic cosmologies among Sai Baba groups, account for empirical diversity not enclosed within the bounded monism-dualism opposition.

Palabras clave : Corporality; Mind; Person; Descartes; Triadic.
