The topic on the video is about the debate between three different views on the

mind-body relationship. The first view is that of monism in which it views the
mental and the physical components of one’s self as a single unit (hence the word
“monism” - mono meaning “one”). The second view is that of dualism which opposes
monism as it views the mind and the body to be two separate entities working
independently inside a person’s self (dual meaning “two”). The last view is that of
pluralism which argues that a person’s self is not only comprised of one’s mind
and body but also other components which the characters in the video refer to as
the “kaibuturan ng isip”; the deepness of one’s mind or even going as far as
beyond one’s mind.

The questions at hand with respect to each view as conveyed by one of the speakers
are as follows: If my mind and body work as a single unit, why do both of them
argue at times? On the other hand, if my mind and body are the only existing
parts of myself, who does my mind argue with when I’m doubting my choices?
These questions refer to the problem with both the monistic and dualistic views of the
mind and body wherein a person’s self cannot be only limited to these factors. The
characters then begin to emphasize the possibility that a human is composed of
another part - something greater than his/her mind which makes it so that there
are 3 parts working inside one’s self.

At the last part of the video, the characters begin to realize that maybe the three
parts: body, spirit, and soul work accordingly to their specific fields while
simultaneously working as one unit altogether. The body component works with
the physical processes of one’s self (“ang pangkatawan ay pangkatawan”)
meanwhile the mind component (soul) works with the concepts concerned with one’s
thoughts (“ang pang-isip ay pang-isip”) and lastly, the “beyond-mind” (spirit)
component of one’s self deals with the abstract things which are unfathomable to the
human mind (“ang pang-puso ay pang-puso”). Moreover, these abstract things are
associated to that of religion; a man can only encounter God though only using
the spiritual part of one’s self - in other words, through one’s faith.
