What is dualism.

When we have established what we think dualism is, A_Smoking_Fox would like to branch off into and discuss different parts which will probably go into a new thread.

Which part of dualism are we interested to explore in this topic.

So any offers?

all lovely ideas.
But perhaps a bit to specific? We will surely pass upon those ideas.

I was thinking more like, dualism in the mind, the logic, from ourselves thus.
Or dualisms outside of us, black white, hot, cold, movement, stillnes.

I was thinking it would be more interesting to study that of the mind, since that seems to be a more interesting field. However, we should agree on this before starting. Since these seem to be the two catogeries of dualisms.

Also, we must be careful with our definition of dualism, we need its concept clear. And now i am having trouble with the realism part in your definition, since it makes it possible to have multiple ideas of realism. Either we will have to clarify realism or we need to adjust your defenition a little.

Dualism is the theory that considers an element, to consist of two different and irreducible states or categories of the element.

Feel free to adjust. If we are to come to a clear conclusion on this vague object, we will need the basis of our conclusion to be as solid and stable as possible.
