What is substance dualism?

Give the main reasoning /arguments for it, and critically assess whether those arguments work or not and why they work, or not.

You shouldn't need to pay for information. Your willingness to learn is sufficient payment, friend.

First of all, this seems to be a homework assignment. Put it in the correct subforum.

Second, this is an easy google search. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualism

Take some time and read that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualism_(philosophy_of_mind) <- Probably more specific to what you want.

No offense to the above poster, but from other posts I have seen I would read it with a grain of salt.

Its not that hard to research. What is stopping you from finding out this information yourself?

None of that is OC.
The definition is pulled directly from the Dictionary by Google.
The image is not my own creation.
Face value, learn to research, hypocritical speculations are not to be taken at all, let alone with salt.

If this was homework, it would be stated, inferring someone is asking for homework help rather than a fundamental curiosity is not your place to decide.
He has a question and wants information. I provided the most purposeful information I could find to fit the context.

Not arrogance, hypocritical statements, and invalid judgement upon which you provide no content to ascertain any validity to your "post."

@Original Post; if you need more information feel free to ask. Glad to share knowledge.
