10 flesh and blood
1. n phr‘It's more than flesh and blood can stand, Frank,’ moaned Beatrice. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Three Fat Women of Antibes’) — - Это выше человеческих сил, Фрэнк, - простонала Беатрис.
2) человек; живые людиClare: "...I'm not wax - I'm flesh and blood." (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Fugitive’, act II) — Клэр: "...Я не восковая кукла. Я живой человек."
The editor's room was like a bulletproof cell in which he was impervious to all outside attacks. Then the picture shifted in her mind and she saw it like an armoured tank rolling remorselessly over flesh and blood. But even a tank was vulnerable. (D. Cusack, ‘Black Lightning’, part IV) — Комната редактора напомнила Темпе пуленепробиваемое убежище, безопасное при любых нападениях извне. Затем картина сменилась. Теперь это была не комната, а танк, давящий все живое. Но даже танк уязвим.
3) конкретное содержание (обыкн. to give flesh and blood to smth., to put flesh and blood on to smth.)2. adj phrIt is now widely acknowledged that the slave trade wrought terrible damage to the African peoples and their economy... The great value of Mr. Davidson's book is that he attempts to put flesh and blood on to this general thesis, to examine the precise impact of this terrible trade on African society. (‘Daily Worker’) — Широко известно, какой огромный вред причинила работорговля африканским народам и экономике африканских стран... Большим достоинством книги мистера Дэвидсона является умение автора облечь это общее положение в плоть и кровь, показать на конкретных примерах, как повлияла эта ужасная торговля на африканское общество.
полнокровный, полный жизни; облечённый в плоть и кровь‘...the purpose of our journey is to destroy a monster with nine heads.’ ‘Really, sir? Something after the style of the Loch Ness Monster?’ ‘Less tangible than that. I did not refer to a flesh and blood animal, Georges.’ ‘I misunderstood you, sir.’ ‘It would be easier if it were one. There is nothing so intangible to pin down, as the source of a rumour.’ (A. Christie, ‘The Labours of Hercules’, ‘The Lernean Hydra’) — -...цель нашей поездки - уничтожение девятиглавого чудовища. - Неужели, сэр? Наподобие того, что живет в озере Лох-Несс? - Наше труднее изловить. Я говорю не о настоящем звере из плоти и крови, Джорджес. - Значит, я неправильно понял вас, сэр. - Дело обстояло бы гораздо проще, будь это лохнесское чудовище. Нам надо найти, кто распространяет слух. А труднее этого нет ничего на свете.
It was a flesh and blood performance. — Это был полнокровный спектакль.

11 bits and pieces
разг.1) разные мелочи; случайные, разрозненные предметы, вещиWell, anyway, there's a table there where your mother keeps odd little decorative bits and pieces - the woman's touch, you know, that she's so good at. (M. Dickens, ‘The Happy Prisoner’, ch. 9) — Там столик, в котором ваша мать хранит свои украшения, подобранные с большим, чисто женским вкусом.
‘Are you by any chance interested in antiques?’ ‘No,’ said Philip cruelly, ‘not at all.’ ‘That's a pity. I have some exciting bits and pieces, you know.’ (G. Vidal, ‘The Judgment of Paris’, ch. 4) — - Вы не интересуетесь антикварными изделиями? - Нет, - ответил Филип жестко. - Совершенно не интересуюсь. - А жаль, знаете ли. У меня имеются занятные вещички.
‘What are you doing with yourself today, Patty?’ he asked her lazily. ‘Oh, nothing much. Few bits and pieces of shopping this morning and the pictures this afternoon.’ (P. H. Johnson, ‘This Bed Thy Centre’, ch. 1) — - Чем ты сегодня занята, Пэтти? - спросил он меня лениво. - Никаких особых дел. Утром надо купить в лавке кое-какие мелочи, а позже пойду в кино.
2) обломки...bits and pieces of the plane were striking up like dead three stalks in the dumpy snow. (J. Aldridge, ‘A Captive in the Land’, ch. I) —...обломки самолета торчали из сугроба, как три пня.
3) обрывки разговора; отрывочные сведения, разрозненные факты...but even in these moments of high confidence Bucky was apt to talk at the top of his voice, and Father Danowski, located a floor away, could often hear bits and pieces of what went on. (E. O'Connor, ‘The Edge of Sadness’, part II, ch. XIII) —...даже во время самого задушевного разговора Бакки так кричал, что отец Дановски, который находился этажом выше, мог слышать отдельные слова и фразы.
...the story is an interesting one and I've heard so many bits and pieces of it since I got here that it helps clarify many things just writing this down in my journal. (G. Vidal, ‘A Thirsty Evil’, ‘Pages from an Abandoned Journal’) —...история интересная, и по приезде сюда я слышал столько разрозненных фактов, относящихся к ней, что многое прояснилось, и теперь можно записать ее в моем дневнике.

14 Mind-body Problem
From this I knew that I was a substance the whole essence or nature of which is to think, and that for its existence there is no need of any place, nor does it depend on any material thing; so that this "me," that is to say, the soul by which I am what I am, is entirely distinct from body, and is even more easy to know than is the latter; and even if body were not, the soul would not cease to be what it is. (Descartes, 1970a, p. 101)still remains to be explained how that union and apparent intermingling [of mind and body]... can be found in you, if you are incorporeal, unextended and indivisible.... How, at least, can you be united with the brain, or some minute part in it, which (as has been said) must yet have some magnitude or extension, however small it be? If you are wholly without parts how can you mix or appear to mix with its minute subdivisions? For there is no mixture unless each of the things to be mixed has parts that can mix with one another. (Gassendi, 1970, p. 201)here are... certain things which we experience in ourselves and which should be attributed neither to the mind nor body alone, but to the close and intimate union that exists between the body and the mind.... Such are the appetites of hunger, thirst, etc., and also the emotions or passions of the mind which do not subsist in mind or thought alone... and finally all the sensations. (Descartes, 1970b, p. 238)With any other sort of mind, absolute Intelligence, Mind unattached to a particular body, or Mind not subject to the course of time, the psychologist as such has nothing to do. (James, 1890, p. 183)[The] intention is to furnish a psychology that shall be a natural science: that is to represent psychical processes as quantitatively determinate states of specifiable material particles, thus making these processes perspicuous and free from contradiction. (Freud, 1966, p. 295)The thesis is that the mental is nomologically irreducible: there may be true general statements relating the mental and the physical, statements that have the logical form of a law; but they are not lawlike (in a strong sense to be described). If by absurdly remote chance we were to stumble on a non-stochastic true psychophysical generalization, we would have no reason to believe it more than roughly true. (Davidson, 1970, p. 90)We can divide those who uphold the doctrine that men are machines, or a similar doctrine, into two categories: those who deny the existence of mental events, or personal experiences, or of consciousness;... and those who admit the existence of mental events, but assert that they are "epiphenomena"-that everything can be explained without them, since the material world is causally closed. (Popper & Eccles, 1977, p. 5)Mind affects brain and brain affects mind. That is the message, and by accepting it you commit yourself to a special view of the world. It is a view that shows the limits of the genetic imperative on what we turn out to be, both intellectually and emotionally. It decrees that, while the secrets of our genes express themselves with force throughout our lives, the effect of that information on our bodies can be influenced by our psychological history and beliefs about the world. And, just as important, the other side of the same coin argues that what we construct in our minds as objective reality may simply be our interpretations of certain bodily states dictated by our genes and expressed through our physical brains and body. Put differently, various attributes of mind that seem to have a purely psychological origin are frequently a product of the brain's interpreter rationalizing genetically driven body states. Make no mistake about it: this two-sided view of mind-brain interactions, if adopted, has implications for the management of one's personal life. (Gazzaniga, 1988, p. 229)Historical dictionary of quotations in cognitive science > Mind-body Problem
