Materialism=physicalism
- all about matter
- mind/spirit/soul is an aspect or function of the brain/body
- can become dogma-scientific exclusionism
Idealism
- mind/spirit is reality, but immaterial in nature
- objects of perception (matter) are only ideas of the perceiving mind

- Reality has two elements (mind and matter)
- Functions on two levels (mental and physical)

- mind is a property of the body
- it is epiphenomenal
- mind does not cause bodily activities
- the mind is an effect of them
- body gives rise to mind
- when body dies, mind ceases to exist
“mind is to body as smoke is to fire”
Substance dualism
- favored by idealistic
- mind is distinct from the body
- it is a real substance
- it can cause things to happen by acting
- mind exists separate from body so it exists after death
“soul or spirit is the mind”
Only matter, never mind
materialism/physicalism
Only mind, never matter
