Learning Philosophy from BoA


Difficult words in BoA's tweet
"So difficult... Physicalism, Dualism, Free Will, Determinism... Is there even an answer?..."

Yes, Ms.BoA. This truly is difficult. Never have I thought being in a fandom would require this much work just to follow your idol. Well... turns out thing is different when your idol is BoA. LOL


To help fellow fans, I'll try to sum up these 4 big words in an easy-to-understand version (but might be wrong. what do you expect? I only quickly read up wikis).

Physicalism (believes only Body exists) vs. Dualism (believes in both Body&Mind)

Determinism (believes everything is predestined. things will always turn out a certain way) vs. Free Will (believes things result from our own selected actions. we can control our future)

For more accurate info about these 4 beliefs, try google them or watch the below vids (which I haven't finished watching yet. LOL)

The nature of persons: dualism vs. physicalism (Yale Lecture)
Free Will, Determinism and Choice (Oxford Lecture)

Enjoy!
