    The Plato theory in Dualism closely resembles my belief about the soul. Plato interpretation of the soul is that it is immortal‚ he believed that our souls existed before birth and it continues to live forever without a body form. He also believes in the reincarnation of the soul‚ which is something I have always agreed with. What humans are really the immaterial mind-soul‚ trapped in a physical body. The way each person interprets distinctive acts and react to them using their own good or evil methods

    The coloured sketch of the island represents the duality of fire’s purpose during the boys’ time on the deserted island. On the right-hand side‚ the fire is shown through the boat which finally took the boys back to civilization. The fire is attached to this because it gave a sense of order and civility in a place with no adults nor consequences. The fire is dimmer on the right-side because the boys had all but lost this civility before they were rescued. A signal fire had become a nuisance and a

    property dualism is just as logically possible as substance dualism‚ the latter cannot be the right account of the mind and body. What Descartes needs to show (to secure the success of his argument‚ i.e. demonstrate that the mind and the body are separate substances) is that it is logically impossible for the mind and body to be the same substance; but‚ as he fails to do this‚ I must reject his conceivability argument‚ and Cartesian dualism in general as the right account of mind and body. A further

    METAPHYSICS: ONTOLOGY: DUALISM VS. MATERIALISM The original idea of the word ’philosophy ’ was a ’love of wisdom ’ (Cowan 2). Philosophy is meant to explore the ’big questions ’ and try to find answers as best we can in the time we have been given. One of the areas of study in philosophy is metaphysics‚ which deals in the ideas of the nature of reality. "We look at the world‚ and we assume that it is the way it appears to be. It is not." (Carreira 7). There is much to reality that can be discussed
