My philosophy teacher, Erin Clark(Best philosophy teacher at Saint Louis University) introduced metaphysics in the most interesting fashion. As a class we'd have several emotionally spiked sessions on Kant, Mill, Aquinas, and Aristotle but the most practical conversation was on the duelist view of existence according to Renè Decarte. We discussed if the mind was mutually independent of the body or an inherent inseparable part. Since we'd previously discussed the principal of non-contradiction, the dichotomy on mind and soul separated the Aquinas/Aristotelian "theologians" from the Kantian/Nietzschean "appologist". A lot of early sophist paint the picture of our consciousness as set apart from earthly urges, which brings to mind: the inquiry of whether or not our lowly sins are a part of our heavenly bodies.
Are we all bipolar, caught in the uncontrollable flux between positive and negative charges obliging us to act irrationally?
