[edit] Expansion
 |
Please help improve this article or section by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page or at requests for expansion. This article has been tagged since January 2007. |
I've added this page to Wikipedia:Requests for expansion. I'd like to see it further developed (and possibly split into multiple articles as suggested above) but I don't really know enough about it to do it myself. Some ideas:
- More information on the concept of dualism in Western religion and mysticism.
- A comparison of Eastern and Western perspectives on dualism.
- Additional external links
This is a topic that I find fascinating, but don't know much about, so if anyone can add to it, I'd really appreciate it. -Zorblek 07:04, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguation?
True or false: This page deserves to be made into a dis-ambiguation page. 66.32.71.239 19:04, 23 May 2004 (UTC)
- It seems that the pl: article treats only of dualism in religion, so it doesn't correspond to this article. Andres 07:12, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- shouldn't this be a disambiguation page? The several meanings are wholly different topics, and deserve independent articles. dab (ᛏ) 12:57, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- This is even better than a disambiguation page: It gives a brief intro to each meaning, and a link to the main article. However, if you think it should have "disambiguation" written over it somewhere, or if you think some of the intro's need mending, that's fine by me.--Niels Ø 09:12, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Restored material from previous vandalism
I brought back some of the content which was present in the edit of August 12, 2005, but removed in a vandalism attack soon afterwards, and somehow never brought back since. Also I removed the link to the problem of other minds and the short paragraph about the history of mind-body dualism from the secion 'Dualism in Philosophy of Science', as those things seem to be unrelated to that particular notion of dualism. If anything, that link and paragraph should be under the 'Dualism in Philosophy of Mind' caption. Joost 17:44, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mind-Matter Dualism in Eastern Philosophy?
This specific section looks like crap to me. It's full of a bunch of red terms, and the wording is unprofessional and seems a bit off a tangent. I'm not familiar with the material, so can anyone clear it up? Tyciol 07:49, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
While I do think the way the 'dualism' page and this one is set up beats a a disambiguation page, this could do with being merged into a larger 'dualism' page [which seems to me to be a good introduction.] Regardless of what format that page is in.
[edit] "Basque bargaining?"
This is a bit of a minor issue, but, while trying to fix all the links to the Basque disambiguation page for the Disambiguation pages with links project, I came across the term Basque bargaining (two links) here and decided to make it into one link, Basque bargaining. Unfortunetly, this page doesn't exist, and, while attempting to do Google and Yahoo! searches for the term, to see if there was a suitable page for it to be redirected to, I discovered that this page and copies of it on other sites were the only ones that used it.
So, basically, I was just wondering whether anyone knew what this term means and could redirect it or create a page for it (or remove it), since I feel uncomfortable with "fixing" a link by turning it into one to a nonexistant page. Thanks, Salmar 21:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- Another solution would be to remove all the material relating to the "Emin Society", which is a rather obscure sect.1Z 20:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 'Movement' disambiguation link fix
Could someone please fix the movement link in "Fourth level: Balance and Movement" to the correct article instead of the movement disambiguation page? I'm unsure of the exact meaning of movement in this context so am unable to do it myself. Thanks --Kroevyn 08:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Philosopphy of Science
This section could probably do with some mention of Wave–particle duality, complementarity (physics)and symmetry1Z 20:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Buddhist Philosophy
This section does not make clear what is trying to make clear.
Typically, in Western philosophy, dualism is considered to be a dualism between mind (nonphysical) and brain (physical), which ultimately involves mind interacting with pieces of tissue in the brain, and therefore, also interacting, in some sense, with the micro-particles (basic building blocks) that make up the brain tissue. Buddhist dualism, in Dharmakirti’s sense, is different in that it is a dualism between not the mind and brain which is made of particles, but rather, between states of consciousness (nonphysical) and basic building blocks (according to the Buddhist atomism of Dharmakirti, Buddhist atoms are also nonphysical: they are unstructured points of energy)
What is the difference between interacting with a brain made of basic building-blocks (Western) and interacting with basic building blocks (Buddhist). What is the difference between 'mind' (Western) and 'states of consciousness' (Eastern)?
