| Dualism is the presumption proposed by Descartes that the human mind and body are two distinct entities that interact with each other to make a person. Descartes reasoned that the mind and the body communicate with each other through a small structure at the base of the brain called the pineal gland. |

| Monism refers to the belief system that there is unity where it is not expected to be present. For instance, the Monistic religious belief of pantheism states that all things are like God. The Monistic philosophical belief in materialism states that only what is physical is real. Believers in idealism believe that what the mind can conceive is the only reality. |

Definition
| The philosophy of materialism holds that the only thing that exists is matter; that all things are composed of material and all phenomena (including consciousness) are the result of material interactions. In other words, matter is the only substance. As a theory, materialism is a form of physicalism and belongs to the class of monist ontology. |
