mittefüüsikalised

Mittefüüsikalised refers to concepts, phenomena, or entities that are not considered part of the physical world. This term is often used in contrast to physical, material, or tangible aspects of existence. It can encompass a wide range of ideas, including abstract thoughts, emotions, spiritual beliefs, theoretical constructs, and subjective experiences. The distinction between the physical and the non-physical is a fundamental philosophical question explored across various disciplines.

In philosophy, non-physicality is often discussed in relation to mind-body dualism, where the mind is considered a non-physical substance distinct from the physical body. This perspective suggests that consciousness, thoughts, and feelings may not have a material basis. Similarly, in spirituality and religion, concepts like souls, deities, and the afterlife are generally considered non-physical. These beliefs often posit a realm or existence beyond the observable and measurable physical universe.

In scientific contexts, while science primarily focuses on the physical and observable, certain fields grapple with phenomena that are difficult to quantify physically. For instance, the subjective nature of consciousness or the experience of qualia (subjective conscious experiences) are considered by some to be potentially non-physical or at least not fully reducible to physical processes. Mathematical and logical truths are also often considered abstract and non-physical, existing independently of any physical manifestation. The term is thus a broad descriptor for anything that lies outside the domain of empirical, measurable, physical reality.
