René Descartes formulated the classic Mind/Body problem in the 17th century CE when he hypothesized that our tangible human body is extended in space, but intangible mind and thought are not. His near contemporary, Baruch Spinoza, reasoned that consciousness and gross matter are simply two different aspects of the same underlying ground of being, thus tangible bodies and intangible minds are both extended in space. As humankind enters the 21st century CE, we now know that omnipresent, nonmaterial physical energy is the fundamental, irreducible ground of being within which tangible matter and intangible minds emerge and extend in nonmaterial space. |
