From a theoretical&nbsp;point of view, the human being is formed by an immaterial and a material substance, completely&nbsp;independent from each other. Nonetheless, passions surprisingly involve both reason and<br>body in a joint experience. Flight is an example Descartes often refers to in order to explain that&nbsp;man should be able, thanks to a hard training comparable to dog training, to resist any passion. But&nbsp;this not always the case. Furthermore, the instinct to flee may be regarded as an element of every&nbsp;passion. That is why it may also be considered as a hint to the deepest orientation towards good of&nbsp;any human action.</p> ER -
