The Dualism of Conceptual Scheme and Undifferentiated Reality

Terence Rajivan Edward
University of Manchester, United Kingdom

This paper evaluates a form of dualism, which is referred to here as the dualism of conceptual scheme and undifferentiated reality. According to this dualism, although reality appears to be divided into distinct things from the perspective of our system of concepts, it is actually not. I justify the view that this dualism is incoherent.
