Dualism vs Materialism The mind/body problem, the question of what is the relationship between the mind and the body, is commonly seen as a key issue in the philosophy of the mind (Sober, 2013, p. 204). The two categories of views discussed in Sober’s ‘Core Questions in Philosophy’ that attempt to resolve the mind/body problem are dualism and materialism. Dualism is the theory that the mind and the brain are two fundamentally different substances (Sober, 2013, p. 204). Conversely, materialism…

In “The Man I Killed,” Tim O'Brien believed that the man he killed was an academic who exhibits signs of weakness as a person.

I believe Tim O'Brien thought that instead of the young…

While influenced by the comparable…
