I have found an article that addresses substance dualism, essentially another term that can be applied to dualist interactionism. I share excerpts from this article that will be of value in clarifying what is meant by these terms, especially since the perspectives of monism, determinism, materialist reductionism and macroevolution still dominate much of the literature of neuroscience. The article is entitled “What Is Man, that You are Mindful of him? The Harmony of Substance Dualism and MBTI.” It is authored by Reilly LaRose from Taylor University, dated 2020, a student of Dr. Seeman, Philosophy of Mind. The article can be found at https://pillars.taylor.edu/philosophy/1. I will post a series of excerpts from this article. I will not address MBTI but focus on explanations presented by the author for substance dualism.
The author referred to Carl Jung who “saw particular functions of the mental life as being dichotomies of measurable personality traits. The four . . . he noticed were that of sensation, intuition, thinking, and feeling. Sensation is the capacity for perception of sense-datum, intuition the capacity for perception of conceptual datum, thinking the capacity for reason or rational judgment, and feeling as the capacity for emotive or irrational judgment.”
The author uses Jung’s four categories of mental life to discuss substance dualism and contrasts them with materialism, or the physical body. Please read on in the following blogs.
