摘要
This article presents an argument for a Hindu substance-dualist position that has remained largely overlooked by Western analytic philosophers, a position that diff erentiates (ontologically) the body and the mind from the soul. A thought experiment is put forth concerning Leibniz's identity of indiscernibles that foregrounds intuitions which, it is argued, comport more with a Hindu soul than the soul of emergent dualism, currently one of the most attractive forms of substance dualism.
