Four Propositions Of The Mind Body Problem

These four propositions lead to a contradiction that is the cause of the mind-body problem. There are three main approaches to this problem, which each state that at least 1 of the propositions must be false. Materialism is the philosophical doctrine that minds and bodies are completely physical; they are spatial and subject to physical law. Idealism which states the world is wholly spiritual; it is neither spatial not subject to physical law but still has consciousness and intentionality. Finally, dualism combines these two and states that the body is physical, and the mind is mental which implies an interaction or causal influence between the two states.
The mind-body problem has significant moral, ethical and social importance. Depending
