I'm too tired to read all this now, but...
Has any one mentioned dualisms reliance on both the body and mind to achieve self? There is an inherent flaw that results here. If either the body or mind were to be destroyed (i.e. someones grandmother being physically incapacitated but still able to think etc.) it would result in a destruction of self. How can self be preserved if the body dies and the soul continues on?
