dual aspect theory

Dual aspect theory is a philosophical concept that suggests that every phenomenon has two distinct but interconnected perspectives: one is physical (objective) and the other is mental (subjective). For instance, consider a coin—it has two sides, heads and tails, yet it is the same coin. In this context, the physical aspect refers to observable facts, while the mental aspect involves our thoughts, feelings, and interpretations related to those facts. This theory aims to explain how mind and matter coexist and influence each other in understanding reality.
