Question
The ultimate reality Brahman and the individual soul atman are believed to be the same in Advaita Vedanta, a branch of Vedanta philosophy whose name indicates it does not hold this position. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this position whose mind-body form was held by René Descartes.
ANSWER: dualism [or duality; accept secondness; accept mind-body dualism; accept non-dualism or non-duality or non-secondness]
[10m] The Vedanta tradition interprets the phrase “tat tvam asi,” in which the word “tvam” is most often translated as this word, as positing an equivalence between Brahman and atman. This English word is the second in a relation contrasted with I-it in a 1923 book.
ANSWER: thou [accept thou that art or that thou art; accept I-Thou; accept I and Thou; prompt on you]
[10h] Two answers required. Advaita Vedanta thinkers interpret one of these two central objects of an ancient Indian philosophical example as Brahman and the other as the world. In that demonstration, one of these two things is mistaken for the other to show the unreliability of sense perception.
ANSWER: rope AND snake [accept in either order]
