In Gertler’s essay, “In Defense of Mind-Body Dualism”, she uses the concept of pain to defend her views on the mind and the body being separate entities. As a dualist, Gertler argues for the mind being separate from the body. She proposes that physicalism is flawed and so argues against the identity thesis that pain is not equal to the firing of C-fibres. Gertler makes her arguments clear and is able to counter any argument from physicalists. In defence of dualism, she puts forth a thought experiment:
particularly, language. Wittgenstein believes we are limiting ourselves by having set parameters for words and meanings. For example, many traditional philosophers, such as Plato, look for definitions and meanings that are universally true.

were discussing the definition of piety they went through five different definitions. The fourth definition, which Socrates pointed at, was that perhaps piety could be apart of justice. Euthyphro then says “piety appears to be the part of justice that attends to the gods” (pg 19). Socrates has a few problems with this definition of piety, he provides Euthyphro with some examples of things that we attend to. After some thought Euthyphro agrees with Socrates that this definition is faulty, because attending
manipulate the independent variable(s) (i.e., what was the researchers’ operational definition)? In experiment 1 the researchers put the participants into two groups, one was the pain group and the other was the no-pain group. The pain group was told to put their hands in cold water and put metal balls into a container that was underwater. They were then asked to do a wall sit for as long as possible. The no pain group was asked to put their hands in warm water and put metal balls in an underwater
Happiness, by definition, represents the unique feeling of pleasure and contentment. However, genuine happiness is an intangible feeling, and it is usually interpreted differently by individuals.
