Conflates(in argumentation and logic): Treats two different things as if they're the same thing, or mixes them up in a way that causes confusion.
Mind and body(as used in metaphysics): Two seemingly different aspects of human existence—your thoughts and consciousness (mind) versus your physical form and physical sensations (body)—that philosophers debate whether they're actually separate or connected.
Stoic / Stoicism(as the philosophical school being discussed): An ancient Greek and Roman philosophy that teaches virtue (being a good person) is the highest good, and that we should accept what we cannot control with calm reasoning rather than emotional reaction.
Underlying reality(as used in philosophy of reality and truth): The actual way things truly are in the world, independent of how different people might describe or interpret them.
