Compare And Contrast Hume's Theory Of The Mind Body Problem
The mind body problem is a how we process things in our life, how our mental status and our physical being can learn from one another.

They take a different approach on the subject and make it more relatable to people. I understood their version more because they did not include mostly facts about god’s uniqueness, they actually included facts on how the mind and the body used either our senses to communicate with one another, or how our impressions play a part in our experiences in the mind and the body. Locke’s objection was more understanding that Humes’s because he made more points on the subject, he had more information on the topic and he also made more since of the subject. Descartes objection seemed to be based on the imagery of god, Humes objection was us using more of an impression than us using both our body and
