The mind and body problem is the philosophical problem of whether there are non-physical minds, souls, or spirits. On one side we have the dualist who believe that there are causal relationships between mind and body. ... One major argument existing against dualism is that if our minds and body share no property in common, then how is it possible for mind and body to interact. ...
Materialist such as Paul Churchland, believe that both mind and body are physical things. ... When a person drinks or uses drugs, their body is affected as well as their mind. ... The mind is damaged in cases such as drugs or alcohol, so it has to be physical. ... Since using drugs or drinking alcohol involves the body not the mind. ... The argument dualist present is that our bodies are physical and our minds are non-physical, however they do believe that through causal relationships the physical body affects the nonphysical mind.
