Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to provide a clarification of theory of dualism by
showing its place in the process of education in this artificial intelligent age. Dualism is a
philosophical theory which posits the existence of two fundamental substance entities or
realms, often contrasted as mind and body, soul and matter or consciousness and physical.
Dualism posits that these two aspects are separate and distinct, and that they interact regularly
but are not reducible to each other James, 1960. This work was embarked upon to draw the
attention of the educators and stakeholders to the important role of mind and body in the process
of education. The clarification of dualism is to show its place in education, and it becomes
necessary because in the process of acquiring knowledge, the reception and precaution/storing
of ideas, reading and the process of awareness or consciousness, the mind explores various
sources of ideas, and the body serves as an instrument of actions during the process of teaching
and learning in this artificial intelligent age.
Based on the foregoing discussion, it is obvious that in education, most courses are
splitted up into its practical (physical) and theoretical (mental) foundation; this calls for the
consideration of how dualism influences our educational prosperousness in order to breed
progressive development and improvement. This owes to the fact that educators, stakeholders
can annex the dual nature of man for the purpose of improving the quality of education in this
artificial intelligent age, if the place of dualism in education is properly figured out as mental
and physical, knowledge will easily be acquired.
