When Rene Descartes presented his argument on dualism, the dissonance between science and religion settled temporarily. Some of the contentious issues that existed before Descartes’s conception of the ‘new’ mind included the visible and the unseen forces that controlled humanity. Therefore, when he claimed that the body is under the power of an invisible entity, which is the mind, he harmonized the debate between science and religion.
Dualism was a new idea because it introduced some accord and provided some realization among societies. The three problems that later emerged include progress in science, the invention of computers, and the growing dissonance between religion and science. As science progressed, some aspects explained by religious doctrines became unrealistic.
Consequently, unlike the perfect idea of machines advanced by Descartes, computers only required the appropriate software to be fully functional. On the other hand, religion and science could not resolve some complexities, leading to a high level of dissonance between the two entities. The three issues have shaped the sector of education and psychology. They have led to twofold training in some learning centers where they teach science and religion to address these inconsistencies.
