Category Error- traditional mind and body distinction is wrong because it treats the mind and body as 2 separate entities of a similar logical kind when they aren't in the same logical category. rejects the idea that they are able to be separated

Soul 1 and Soul 2. 2 different ways of understanding the soul. Soul 1= distinctive spiritual supernatural part of a person (knowing God's existence)- Dawkins rejects this. Soul 2= more Aristotlean is referring to a persons personality
Aristotle
In the middle of dualist and materialist. The soul gives the body life. We have different types of Soul: Plants have a vegetative, soul (reproduction and growth). Animals have a sensitive soul (includes vegetative, mobility and sensation) and humans have a rational soul (includes vegetative, sensitive, thought and reflection)

Flew
Cheshire Cat- No substance to it- cannot just leave the grin behind so you cannot leave the body without a soul

Decartes
Dualist- hyperbolic doubt- doubts everything- realised only thing certain of is that you exist because "I think therefore I am" (Latiny stuff). That shows there must be a soul separate from the body- we cannot be certain of our body but can be certain that we have a consciousness. Thought link between soul and body is the penial gland as in middle of brain and only one- everything else in the brain=doubled.
