笛卡尔的机械论身体观遭到后现代主义者的批评。古人虽然视人体的结构为来自神圣理智的完美设计,但身体本身却是低级、被动、必死的,高贵、神圣、不朽的灵魂赋予身体活力并掌控身体,人类不可能凭自己的理智真正了解并有效干涉身体的衰老朽坏,只能期望在身体消亡之后不朽的灵魂可以升天。相反,笛卡尔认为人类理智可以像了解机器那样透彻了解身体并尽可能长久地维持身体的运转,他承认身体的生存权利,对身体持尊重态度。
Descartes’s mechanistic outlook on body was criticized by post-modernists. Although the ancients regarded the structure of the human body as a perfect design from divine reason, the body itself is low-level, passive, mortal, noble, sacred, and immortal, giving life to the body and controlling the body. It is impossible for humans to truly understand and use their own reason Effective intervention in the aging of the body decay, can only hope that after the demise of the immortal soul can ascend. Instead, Descartes argues that human reason can understand the body as thoroughly as it does the machine and maintain its body as long as possible, recognizing the right to life of the body and respecting the body.
