It is because of mind and body is two separate substances. In the contract, the "monism" means that both of the physical and mental are combined being one. And our mind and body are indivisible and are each influenced by the other. The monism and dualism individually has its strengths and weaknesses. The mind

considering the theory of morality. There are many different views about the guidelines humans should follow in order to be a good human and live in a functional environment. Monism, pluralism, and particularism are three different ideas about how one should make decisions. Pluralism seems to be the most plausible in our society. Monism states that there is one principle of rightness. An example of this is utilitarianism. The utilitarian view considers the optional, obligatory and forbidden acts. Action

Hinduism is the major religion of India and is monism. It is defined as “uniting the worship of many Gods with a belief in a single divine reality.” (Molloy, 2015, p.75). “Hinduism is not a single, undefined religion; it is more like a family or beliefs” (Molloy, 2015, p.75). Hinduism is a religion where it is not as structured or has a lot of rules as catholic or baptist. I like it because it is most based off of a way of living your life to reach the ultimate destination. Which is the “path of

Donald Davidson’s Mental Events, challenges how we discuss mind-body interactions. The thesis presented by Davidson, is that of Anomalous Monism, which attempts to answer the causality of mental and physical events. Differing from forms of the more common Dualism, Davidson accepts monism as the best way to describe the mind-body relationship. Meaning he accepts token identity and rejects type-identity. Davidson’s argument consists of three key principles. The first being the Principle of Causal

Many of us have some view or idea of the afterlife – whether it is some kind of utopia or even if there is one at all. Research conducted by Douglas Davies found that around 29% of us believe that nothing happens after death, 8% think that our bodies awaits resurrection and 12% believe that we will come back as someone else. Of course there are some more religious people, 22%, who just think that we should trust in God, the remaining 34% of us believe that our souls passes on to another world. These

highlight the advantages of Spinoza’s monism over Descartes’ dualism by looking at Spinoza’s response to these issues. First, in order to consider the advantages of Spinoza’s substance monism over Descartes’ dualism it is necessary to show how each philosopher demonstrates their substance dualism or substance monism. Tim Crane defines monism and dualism as follows: “Monism denies that minds and their

According to the Stamford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, existence monism is defined as “Existence monism targets concrete objects and counts by individual token. It holds that exactly one concrete object token exists (the One).” This idea of oneness is represented in Parmenides’ text On Nature. Parmenides argues that we are part of a monistic universe, therefore Parmenides’ text On Nature is a Monistic work “what is, is uncreated and indestructible, alone, complete, immovable and without end. Nor was

mind, one of the most prominent philosophical theories is Monism. Monism, by itself, is the theory that reality consists of only one kind of substance. Likewise, Anomalous Monism theorized and developed by Donald Davidson in his work, Mental Events, proposes that reality consists of one kind of substance, namely, physical substance. That is, according to Davidson, all mental events are a part of the physical realm. Furthermore, Anomalous Monism, also known as the token-identity theory, is Davidson’s

EASTERN PANTHEISTIC MONISM Under an Eastern Pantheistic Monism worldview, all is God and all is One. There is an overarching understanding that the soul of every human being belongs to the Soul of the Cosmos and after this understanding is achieved each soul is joined to the One (Soul of the Cosmos). Pantheism and Monism have evolved rapidly over the past three decades which led to a stark division of beliefs according to different branches of Pantheism. Eastern Pantheistic Monism has also adapted into

mental and the physical using the thesis “that there cannot be strict psychophysical laws”(Chalmers, 117). He argues that there are no law like connection between mental and the physical. Anomalous monism is the token identity theory together with the Anomalism of the mental or the physical. Anomalous monism is the view that all mental events are physical but there are no strict laws or any connection between the mental and the physical and the physical and mental phenomena cannot be given purely physical
