dualists

many philosophers are dualists, believing in a separation between mind and body.

the debate between dualists and materialists continues to be a central topic in philosophy.

historically, prominent dualists like descartes shaped western thought significantly.

critics argue that dualists struggle to explain the interaction between these separate realms.

some dualists propose interactionist theories to address this challenge.

the problem of other minds poses a significant challenge for dualists.

cartesian dualists maintain a strong distinction between the mental and the physical.

property dualists suggest that mental properties emerge from physical systems.

interactionist dualists propose causal interaction between mind and body.

epiphenomenalism, a form of dualism, denies mental causation.

the views of dualists often contrast sharply with those of materialists.
