claimThe epistemological crisis in the humanities and the ontological problems in modern physics both derive from a dualist ontology that separates the mind (the thinking 'stuff') from matter (the blind matter being observed).
claimCartesian dualism has been identified as the most central problem of modern science and the modern/colonial worldview due to its ontological dualism, which contributes to the 'Great Divide' between mind and body, subject and object, human and non-human, culture and nature, humanities and natural sciences, and Us and Them.
claimThe humanities are trapped by the Cartesian subject, which leads them to repeatedly discover the illusiveness of reality while failing to bridge the gap between subject and object, mind and body, and individual and society.
