Based on my reading of Hasker (1983)‚ I believe the view of the mind or body problem that was exhibited by Piccard in the synopsis from Star Trek: The Next Generation was the Dualism view. Picard stated that‚ “Data has rights among them the right to refuse to undergo an experimental procedure such as this.” Here‚ Picard ascribes both physical and mental attributes to the robot (Data).

I think Star Wars is better than Star Trek. Why? It’s simple. Star Trek is for wimps! Yes‚ I said it. WIMPS! Star Trek is an old television show that is about a society traveling through outer space on the Starfleet Enterprise and takes place in the distant future. Not a lot happens and there isn’t a lot of action. In other words‚ there isn’t a lot of fighting and intensity. Star Wars is high intensity and loaded with actions!
