Mind–body dualism

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is based on the class that I am currently taking which was suggested to do in the instructions given for the assignment. It matters because it helps to understand the relationship between our minds and body and whether there is actually a relationship between them. it gives a better understanding of the way our mind and body work. My preliminary impression was that the article is very informational and interesting and gave a lot of information about the subject which permits to give an even wider understanding of the topic.

The lead section did include an introductory sentence by introducing the topic of mind-body dualism and explaining what it is. It gives a very detailed description while still being brief about the connection between the mind and body while explaining the different views within it which is spoken about all through out the article. The content is very much so relevant to the topic by explaining where the these views on mind and body come from and explaining in even more detail what they are. It is very much so up-to-date because these deep thoughts are still spoken about in present years. All the content within this article has it's place and if something was taken off important information on the subject would be missed but even though it is very much detailed and it is hard to see whether something could be added or not there is always more information about any subject that could be added. The tone is very much so neutral not once does it go beyond this. The article describes all the positions that people could about this subject such as dualism, physicalism, parallelism and more, without being biased for either and are all equally presented with enough information and described accurately. There is never a point during the reading where the writer or writers are trying to change peoples opinion on their own views. All of the information given is backed up with the proper sources as seen at the bottom of the page and there are many and they all reflect properly the topic. A lot of the sources are from articles from the last 20 years or less which is pretty current and by multiple different authors from multiple different periods of time. All information needed seems to be within the sources and the links do in fact work when needing to look more into detail about a specific topic that is not quite understood. The organization and writing quality is very precise and easy to read and the article is well organized and has multiple categories from the types of ways of thinking to different arguments some may have about them and there is no grammatical errors in the article and if there were they were corrected. The article does contain images to view the certain subjects better or even to see what certain philosophers looked like and had proper captions underneath the images explaining what they are. They all do adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations and are very well laid out in the article but there could definitely be more added to make it even more appealing and descriptive of the topic. In the talk page discussion they only speak about things that could be corrected and were corrected about grammatical errors and potential bias. There was also some about adding new information or even deleting some. The article is apart of a WikiProject and is said to be a good article. The class and the article have very similar information there is some that is new but it is possibly due to not having seen it in class yet. I find the article to be very good and does not really need to be corrected in any way there is certainly information that can be added because there is new information about things on the daily but none that are extremely pressing to the matter. It has a well deserved good status and helped even myself understand the topic in an even deeper level even though I did know about most of it due to class.
