Feeling and Imagination are very important in the thought of Descartes. Descartes categorizes or classified feeling and imagination as state of consciousness under the modes of the thinking thing, without having any relation to external objects. Then, in Sixth Meditation, he Seeks help from these two forces for proving of Physical character (or Man-e jesmani) and presented them as a forces that realize they need physical and corporeal activity. Therefore, they are two forces that are not purely subjective (mental) or purely physical, but we can have them in the unity of mind and body and as a human beings composed from mind and body. Indeed, in discussing of feelings and imagination, Descartes tries to prove material or corporality in general and human bodies specially and he wants to explain how mind and body interact with different substances too. But it seems that his talk about these two forces or power is not compatible with his famous mind-body dualism system. In study and review of works of Some of the commentators Descarte's thoughts like Gary Hatfield, Bernard Williams, Margaret Dauler Wilson and Catherine Wilson, we Found that They more or less have discussed about feelings and imagination in the philosophical system of Descartes. But despite the importance of the issue in the thought of Descartes, they have passed from it briefly. Among these, John Katyngm, of the three-volume English translation of Descartes works and the owner of numerous works on Descartes thought system, more than any other commentators, is noted to feeling and imagination In the philosophy of Descartes And he Has noted different views and voted than other Descartes experts. In this article we try to show the place of feelings and imagination in the philosophy of Descartes and linking this issue with Descartes Dualism, according to the works of Descartes And referring to the vote of some commentators his works and somehow it will be shown Highlights of votes Katyngm than Other analysts or commentators.
