Non-physical Entity
In ontology and the philosophy of mind, a non-physical entitiy is a spirit or being that exists outside of normal reality. Their existence divides the philosophical schools of physicalism and dualism, with the latter holding that they do and the former that they do not. If one posits that non-physical entities can exist, there exist further debates as to their inherent natures and their position relative to physical entities.
