What Are The Arguments Of Dualism

By examining dualism, idealism, and physicalism, it becomes clear that idealism has the best arguments in its favor and has the fewest philosophical problems. George Berkley, Rene Descartes, and J.J. C. Smart were philosophers who were trying to understand the relationship between the mind and the body. George Berkeley believed there are no mind independent objects, and that everything that exist only exist through one’s perceptions. Rene Descartes thought that the mind and body had a causal relationship. J.J.C Smart believed that all there is are psychical things, and that everything could be explained through physical terms.
Idealism is the most supported theory with the fewest philosophical problems compared to dualism and physicalism because idealism’s arguments have strong evidence and it is consistent. According to veil of perception, if a person was to touch an apple then apple would exist because the person is perceiving his or hers sensations and not of the physical object. Furthermore, Materialist believe that the world is physical, but how can the world be entirely physical if the mind is non-material? No brain can show where the mind lies in the human body. Additionally, how can there be a causal relationship between the mind and body if there is no explicit causal link between the actions of the mind and body? Or how can dualism be accurate if dualism implies that there is a gain or loss in energy when energy is being transferred from one
