Answer: Descartes is similar more or less to Gretchen, not just because Gretchen took a liking to philosophy, but because Gretchen wondered if there was life after death and she was more or less on the no side.
However Sam tried to convince her throughout the story and that is what Descartes did. He tried to get to know if this was true through the means of phsicology.
Explanation: Gretchen Weirob was a philosophy teacher and Sam Miller is her friend. Gretchen decided to spend her last days debating on whether life after death is possible and on personal identity.
Descartes considered the body and the soul to be ontologically separate but interacting entities, each with its own particular attributes. He then sought to specify both their mode and site of interaction; the latter he deduced to be the pineal gland. The pineal was to become, in the words of Geoffrey Jefferson, “the nodal point of Cartesian dualism.”
Descartes succeeded in eliminating the soul’s general physiological role altogether and in circumscribing its cognitive role to the human species. Descartes’s writings about death show that his concept of the soul clearly implied both mind and the immaterial principle of immortality. It had to mean both things, for no one had ever conceived of survival after death without a mind to verify the fact of continued existence, to enjoy its pleasures, and to suffer its pains.
We now know that immediately below the pineal gland there lies the mesencephalic tegmentum (the uppermost part of the brain stem), which is crucial to generating alertness (the capacity for consciousness), without which, of course, there can be no volition, cognition, or reason.

Answer:
Women choose lesser goals for themselves
Explanation:
In Laura Cereta's Defense of the Liberal Instruction of Women, the reason she gave for why there are so few intellectual women in Renaissance Italy is that "Women choose lesser goals for themselves."
This is evident from the letter written by Laura Cereta on January 13, 1488, where she claimed that "...And here choice alone, since it is the arbiter of character, is the distinguishing factor. For some women worry about the styling of their hair, the elegance of their clothes, and the pearls and other jewelry they wear on their fingers. Others love to say cute little things, to hide their feelings behind a mask of tranquility, to indulge in dancing, and to lead pet dogs around on a leash. For all I care, other women can long for parties with carefully appointed tables, for the peace of mind of sleep, or they can yearn to deface with paint the pretty face they see reflected in their mirrors..."
