Does Discussion Of A Mind-Body Distinction Always Involve Category Error?

Question 1

According to ?, people who make a distinction between the mind and body make a “? ?” because they think that the mind is a thing in a way that the body is a thing. Many would support this view and say that to think of the mind and body as distinct things is the result of taking the ? of the “?” or “?” too literally.
