  • Plato
    • Dualist
      • He believed that the body and soul were separate substances which interact
    • An individuals real identity lies within their soul.
    • The body
      • The demands of the body will take over.
      • Our body is a nuisance and a bind, it is not a real person.
      • We have a body but we are not a body.
      • The real person is separate and distinct from the body it inhabits.
    • The soul
      • The soul is on a higher level of reality than the body, being immortal with understanding of the realm of ides.
      • The soul is concerned with reason and it is not always perfect as the body corrupts it and drags it down.
