Dualism

Dualism, in terms of philosophy of mind, is the belief that the mind and body are two distinct entities. It asserts that the mind (mental processes, thoughts) is non-physical and, in some sense, separate from the physical body. This separates thoughts, consciousness, or self from the physical brain. According to dualism, your mind is not just a product of your brain's biology, but something fundamentally different.
