(January 26, 2022 at 5:21 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: In property dualism, everything is made of just one substance, reducible to just one substance.  If a person thinks that there is more than one substance required, that there are things that don't reduce to substance a alone, that's not property dualism - it's substance dualism. 

I'm curious why so many people go to either 'substance monism' or 'substance dualism'.

At this point, we have a number of 'fundamental particles' which, string theory aside, seem to not be 'made of' anything more basic: electrons, quarks, photons, W and Z particles, gluons, etc.

Does each type of fundamental particle give a different 'substance'? It seems to me that by most definitions of 'substance', they do.

If they do, then aren't there a whole host of different 'substances'? So why just limit to dualism?
