which two people both believed that the mind is seperable from the body especially in death and knowlegde is innate?

A	socrates and aristotle
B	plato and aristotle
C	socrates and plato
D	descartes and plato

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Dualism is closely associated with the thought of René Descartes (1641), which holds that the mind is a nonphysical-and therefore, non-spatial-substance. Descartes clearly identified the mind with consciousness and self-awareness and distinguished this from the brain as the seat of intelligence.

Detailed explanation-2: -Descartes / Cartesian dualism argues that there is a two-way interaction between mental and physical substances. Descartes argued that the mind interacts with the body at the pineal gland.

Detailed explanation-3: -This enabled Aristotle to explain the union of body and soul by saying that the soul is the form of the body. This means that a particular person’s soul is no more than his nature as a human being.
