One of the more important historical themes in our field, still under debate today, is the notion of dualism. Which of the following beliefs are consistent with the basic thrust of dualism? The soul is a meaningless concept; all that exists is matter and energy, and we can understand all human behavior by understanding physical processes in the body (especially the brain). Humans consist of both body and soul - though you can study the material body and its workings scientifically, you can't study the immaterial soul. Every human action, including thought, can be understood as a reflex. All of the above statements are consistent with the view of dualism.
James K.
Why is Descartes' theory of dualism unacceptable to most contemporary psychologists? A) The body is described as a physical machine that operates according to natural law. B) Thought and memory are not accessible to scientific study. C) Many actions are described in terms of reflexes. D) The organ in which Descartes claimed the soul resides does not in fact exist.
