Throughout history philosophers have pondered the nature of reality, resulting in two major camps- monism and dualism. Monism states that the nature of reality is a manifestation of one thing, most notably, matter. Dualism on the other hand states that while there is a physical world there is another piece to the puzzle; usually this is a Mind separate from reality. This paper will support the dualist viewpoint of reality while also providing a rebuttal to the arguments of the other camp. Materialism is a rather popular theory of the nature of reality; a monist viewpoint that the average person unknowingly believes. Now, this, perhaps, is not because of the validity of such a view; but rather because it is natural, in lieu of any consideration of these big questions, to conclude that everything that is, is all there is. In other words everything is physical, composed of matter, and can be reduced to physics, biology, or chemistry. That is not to say that the only materialists are uninformed individuals, of course that is not the case. Many great thinkers throughout history have supported a materialist view of reality. Thales of Miletus, the first philosopher of ancient Greece, was a materialist who believed that all of reality could be reduced to one thing-water. Of course we now know that is not the case, but that is not to say that materialism is an outdated theory, 16th century philosopher and author of the famous treatise, Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes believed all of reality was composed of matter. Hobbes even went so far as to state that there is no such thing as free will, that human nature is a science rather than a tendency and can be studied just as any other science. If we were to learn enough about this science we could calculate the future based on an exhaustive knowledge of the present. Evidently there must be some credible basis for such a theory, for if there were not materialism would not of survived the test of time. If
