The Theory Of Dualism And The Concept Of Dualism

Currently, it is plausible to conclude that consciousness can only be explained in terms of dualism, only because physicalism lacks the tools and understanding of consciousness to say that consciousness is a physical property. However, in the future, there is a possibility that we will have a more developed and shared understanding of what consciousness is, which will in turn dissolve the gap between the physical and non-physical world that defines dualism. Thinking about previous problems that have been addressed in earlier times, such as whether or not the world is round, if mental illness is caused by evil spirits or something else, and so on, seems like silly thoughts that should have been obvious at first. However, these problems were significant and pressing because they did not have the tools to gain a more accurate understanding of those concepts. What I am posing here, is that although

Our mind is non-physical and the space that it occupies is currently unknown, or at least not widely agreed upon. Our body occupies space in the physical world, and is therefore a physical property. This is one of the first arguments in philosophy regarding the mind body problem and is directly related to the problem of consciousness because consciousness is a part of the mind. The famous philosopher, Renee Descartes, proposed the theory of dualism based off of his “method of doubt,” which he used to reduce all of his knowledge of the world down to concepts that he can be completely sure of. It turned out that there was little in his world that he was completely sure of. One concept that he boiled it all down to was, “I think, therefore I am.” which states that his ability to claim a thought as his own action is enough evidence for him to know that he has a mind. His theory is defined by the segregation of what is known (physical) and what is not
