Are there any good arguments for dualism using Leibniz's Law?
The argument:

-I can learn about my own mental states through introspection
-I cannot learn about my own brain states through introspection
-Therefore, my mind is not my brain.

This argument is not good, since the second premise cannot be accepted by physicalists/materialists. Are there any good arguments of this nature for the dualistic claim that the mind is not the same as the brain/body?
