 In the philosophy of mind, dualism is the theory that the mental and the physical—or mind and body or mind and brain—are, in some sense, radically different kinds of thing. Because common sense tells us that there are physical bodies, and because there is intellectual pressure towards producing a unified view of the world, one could say that materialist monism is the ‘default option’

 being and thought  subject and object  sense datum and thing  God and the world  matter and spirit  body and mind  good and evil.

 Don’t believe in substances, entities in the universe  Could be a world, physically identical to ours except no conscious beings  World contains zombies, act identical except no conscious  Consciousness not a physical feature, it’s a non material property.

 David J. Chalmers (modern philosopher)  born 20 April 1966  most known for theory of “philosophical zombies”  Concerned about the human consciousness and human mind

 Questions rose from the theory of New Dualism  If humans are both immaterial minds and material bodies, then do the two relate?  Do we have souls?  Is there an afterlife,(spiritual realm)?
