ene Descarte, a French philosopher advocated that mind and body were two separate entities. During the time of Renaissance, when the world was formulating biological revolution, heavy emphasis was placed on how body works.

They emphasized heavily that diseases arose from somatic malfunctions beginning at cellular and microscopical levels.
