Physicalism
Dualism
Idealism
First of, physicalism is the sole idea that the mind is within the body and that it is physically in your brain, key word there, physical. Most of my ideas about the human mind come from this field of philosophy.
Second is dualism, the idea that the mind is in a completely separate realm from your body. This idea sort of goes in with the transcendentalists' beliefs. A transcendentalist believes that the mind transcends the human body and that it is more spiritual in nature. This isn't what I believe because of science even though I'm a transcendentalist by all other accounts so I can basically say I'm 95% transcendentalist.
Idealism. Idealism is the philosophy field in which it is solely based on ideas, no matter how far-fetched or how close to home they are. My first essay was based on the understandings and principles of idealism as I had called it an idealist essay before since I had not yet proclaimed myself to be a transcendentalist.
There you go readers. A little crash course on three fields of philosophy that I at least have the gist of. Feel free to look more into them on your own time, I encourage it. They're good stuff.
