Dualists‚ unlike hard materialists believe that the body and soul are distinct things that are joined together in some way for now. They also believe that when the body dies‚ the soul lives on.

we change how we see the world and how we learn. How we were taught has a great impact on every aspect of our lives‚ from choosing what we will do with our futures to how we treat one another. The three philosophers that I respect and admire are Plato‚ John Dewey and Paulo Freire. A combination of these philosopher’s ideas and ideals are what will create a healthy‚ productive‚ and unique classroom that provides guidance for the ever changing dynamics in a classroom.

The concept of the afterlife is incoherent. Discuss. The concepts of the afterlife held by philosophers are varied‚ due to the different forms to which people believe it takes. For example‚ there are disputes as to whether it is a physical or material world‚ in the form of body and/or soul‚ which raises both dualist and monist views.
