> However, I'm not arguing against dualism. That is part of my own problem as an agnostic ... I don't understand the nature of consciousness (and nor does anyone else). If there is a dimension beyond the material, then it opens up the whole question of whether there is a form of life beyond that which we know ... and of course a UI comes into the equation. But merely repeating that we have a body and a conscious mind (and an unconscious mind for good measure), and 1 + 1 = 2 is simply playing games with the word "dualism".-I've followed this discussion and I agree with dhw. There is one and then there is everything else. Not just two. It is all a play with words, mental masterbation. The concedpt of numbering is ancient, altho it took awhile to figure out the need for zero, Perhaps unconscious equals zero, not part of a duality. :-)) We are no further ahead with the approach presented.
