A Dictionary of Philosophy, Third Edition
. Any view which claims to see in the universe as a whole or in some area of concern just two fundamental entities or kinds of entity or properties, e.g. the views that a person’s mind and body are irreducibly different entities, or that physical and mental properties are of irreducibly different kinds, or that all propositions can be sharply and exhaustively distinguished into the ANALYTIC and the synthetic.
Antidualists may claim the alleged distinction does not exist, or is not sharp, or is not exhaustive. See also MONISM.
