Dualist or Monist and explain your reasons why you think that.
Are these the only choices?
Concise CD writes:
Dualism In philosophy, any pair of irreducible, mutually heterogeneous principles used to analyze the nature and origins of knowledge (epistemological dualism) or to explain all of reality or some broad aspect of it (metaphysical dualism); also, any theory that employs dualisms.
Examples of epistemological dualisms are subject and object and sensation and sensibilia; examples of metaphysical dualisms are mind and matter, good and evil, and God and world. Dualism is distinguished from monism and pluralism.
Monism In metaphysics, the doctrine that the world is essentially one substance or contains only one kind of substance.
Monism is opposed both to dualism and to pluralism. Examples of monism include materialism, pantheism, and metaphysical idealism. See also Benedict de Spinoza.
Given that these are the definitions, I consider myself more dualistic.
NIV writes:
John 3:6-- Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
I certainly dont have a metaphysical belief system that I am awaer of, but I do not think that flesh and spirit are a monastic union.
