Well, are we matter or psyque? I think that we can say that we are psyque and matter because we are what we think and express, and our body is the way we can do it. To explain this in a better way we must talk about the ding an sich or in other words "the thing it self".
The ding an sich is what makes something that "thing", so if we talk about objects we can say that the ding an sich is not the matter, instead, are the thing that had happened with the object or the memories that we have of it, for me it is the same for human beings, we are most of the time what our minds had created, like the way we talk or treat people, how we act and how we express our selfs, but we also need our boby, for example, if you take of a part of our body we will still being humans because our thoughts haven't change, the way we are haven't change but our matter has and it is the way we communicate and are ourselfs it is the way we can express the way we are.
So to define if the human being is matter or psyque we can say that we are both them because they complement each other and without one of them we couldn't be human beings.
