Philosophy of mind
Dualism
-
-
Property dualism
observation bring properties, only the brain interact with the mind
-

monolism

Only the mind exist
idealism
-
there is matter, but you can question if the way we describe it is right, because observations are limited
-
-
no-report paradigm
con's
it is modulated by cofnitive factors, such as decision uncertainty, reward prediction, and motor preparation (perception-related)
-
pro's
can be applied to sitautions where reports are difficult to obtain (patients, babies, animals, anesthesia, and sleep)
it uses reflexive responses to track the subject's perceptual experience in the absence of explicit (conceptualized) report

Substance dualism
Arguments
The extension in length, breadth and depth, constitues the nature of corporeal substance
-
-
If your mind has characteristics that your body doesn’t have, and vice versa, then your mind must be something separate and distinct from your body
The differences between matter & minds:
- Spatial
- Qualitative & conscious
- Direct, immediate, and infallible
- Private
Counterarguments
But if the mind and matter are other substances, how could they possibly interact?
Some believe that mental entities can exist without any physical substrate or grounding; and that physical entities can exist without any mental accoutrements.
If substance dualism is true, then we cannot know the mental states of others. We do, on at least some occasions, know the mental states of others. Therefore, substance dualism is false.
If substance dualism is true, persons cannot casually influence bodies, but persons can casually influence bodies
