So I've been interested in the whole mind and body interaction and such.

I'm not that good at deciphering logic for now, as I've never been instructed philosophy but rather just read up on philosophy histories and explanation of certain ontological arguments, theories, logic, etc.

Objectivism, if I remember summing up, holds that you can not experience death because death is the end of experience.

If the mind experiences, and death is the end of experience, and our body can die, therefore the mind is part of the body.

but does the mind experience (I do not know that much, remember!)

I'm saying this because "if the mind experiences" implies that the mind can "stop experiencing" as well. which is death.

So far my reasoning is logic, but I want to know if I'm right or there is something wrong with what I'm saying. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to reply kindly.

(also possibly offering where I could find in-depth, but still understandable, concepts/definitions of dualists, materialists, and monists (or whatever they're called.)
