Can we conceive a situation in which mind exists without matter, or where matter exists without mind?
For Descartes the mind was indivisible and the extended world was divisible, whereas if anything it is the other way round.
The objects of the world partake in the mind that begets them. It’s not that the mind represents an apple that is external to it, but that the mind is the apple, just as the apple is the mind (at least in part). The apple is no less real for this.
