- Materialsts criticising DUalism
- Dualists believe that the body is a vehicle for the soul and that there are seperate
- We do not just notice our bodies are damaged, we feel it and it causes mental distress
- Substance dualism cant explain how mental thoughts can cause physical response
- eg mental decision to walk
- Or how feelings of embarrassment can cause me physically to blush
- No way of knowing that everybody else has a mind
- All substance dualism creates is the 'problem of other minds'
- Antony Flew argues that the soul is the behavior of a person nothing else
- Materialist view
- It is the indentity
- No life after death because the physical body no longer has any behavior
- Someone who is catching has to use mental judgments about right time and speed and also physical moving
