The book that I read was “Help! I’m trapped in my teacher’s body” by Todd Strasser. This book has parts that make you think about different philosophical questions. You can ask about morality and dualism and materialism. This book can really get you thinking about theses questions. Just because the book is geared to a younger audience dose not mean that it has deep philosophical meaning.
This book has a lot about dualism. With this book it is about two people who switch minds but there body and brain stayed the same. This is Substance Dualism. Substance dualism is when you believe that the mind and the brain are two distinct substances. In other words, they are two different entities, two different things. In this book it would be this way because all that was switched was the mind and not the brain or the body. In this book it was not Hylomorphic Dualism because the mind and soul make up the brain in Hylomorphic Dualism but in this book they changed minds but not brains.
