The relationship between body and mind

[k-onmmunist]

To explain:

Materialism is the belief that the physical world is reality and everything that exists is material in nature. The mind is simply part of this physical reality with no special significance. This view is largely incompatible with theism, and thus is mostly the preserve of atheists, agnostics and Buddhists.
Famous proponents: Most pre-Socratics, Locke, Hume, Nietzsche, Marx, Sartre

Dualism is the belief that the mind and body are not identical hence mind and matter are different in nature. This view has been used to justify belief in the afterlife, due to the mind having an existence separate to that of the physical body.
Famous proponents: Plato, Descartes

Idealism is the belief that everything is based on the mind and the physical world is created by perception. Ideas are the ultimate reality. A rare idea today, but a relatively strong philosophy in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Famous proponents: Berkeley, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Jung

[John Dibble]

Materialism. I know of no indication that our minds exist independent of our brains.

[Tokugawa Sexgod Ieyasu]

None of the above. I'll elaborate later. Trying to get cracking on some writing.

[Frodo]

You can count me in as a dualist. 

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Materialism. I know of no indication that our minds exist independent of our brains.

How do you account for free will, or do you consider that to be an illusion?

[DC Al Fine]

My first thought was dualist, but I can't really prove to myself that the material world exists, so I'll lean idealist for now.

I'm agnostic on the question of whether true free will exists.

Of the choices, and I'm not a Philosopher, but of the choices surely Materialism. The brains of several very high order mammals (humans and dolphins, perhaps the whale family) are most surely the most advanced organs to evolve over the 4.5 billion years this planet has been here. The brain is a highly complex organ, but I take the view that is is nonetheless entirely a physical, material thing that when it shuts down a person is dead. I did not know anything before I was born, and I will not know anything after I am dead, essentially.

Materialism... but there is something to be said for Idealism (this is all a dream, friend).  Spooky. 

[Insula Dei]

Qualia, qualia, qualia,....

(In other words: a dualist at least about mental qualities, with an obvious commitment to the idea of a mental substance)
