  This passage links Descartes’ dualism (mind-body separation) to everyday "common sense"—particularly through language: Descartes’ doubt method led him to frame the mind (a thinking, non-material substance) as distinct from the uncertain, physical body. The text then explains this dualism is embedded in how we speak: we refer to "my arm," "my brain," etc., using possessive language that treats the self as separate from its physical parts (as if we "own" our bodies/brains). This intuition also shapes views of personal identity: common sense accepts that a person can remain the same despite radical bodily changes (e.g., fictional stories where a teen wakes up in an older body). Language and cultural examples (like such movies) reflect the widespread, intuitive acceptance of mind-body dualism.
