Abstract
In Cartesian philosophy, mind and body are complicatedly separate from each other, but they have the same root of unity. Contemporary philosophers and those after Descartes have resorted to different ways to solve this paradox. In fact, this issue can be considered as the most important problem in modern philosophy which is present in all aspects of modernism. However, Nietzsche’s answer to this issue is different. According to Nietzschean approach, this paradox is a Show which Descartes only virtually presented it. Descartes has to present such a paradox because body paradoxically acts as “something lost” and at the same time the aim of desire to find it. The present study is basically aimed at leading this idea to a fundamental criticism of “Idealism”.
