==Dualism==
 +
 +
Dualism is thought to be the most common, natural view of the mind-body relationship. Dualists argue that the world is made up of at least two distinct substances: the material and whatever makes up the mind (generally, but not always, called the spirit).

 +
==Monism==
 +
 +
Monism refers to the philosophical view that there is only one type of material. While this could be physical (see: eliminative materialism), monism is generally used to refer to the school of thought where only the spiritual substance exists.
