The Spatial Presence of Spirits among the Cartesians.

This article offers the interpretation on the spatial presence of spirits among the Cartesians and Rene Descartes. It is noted that Cartesians believed that minds and bodies were distinguishable substances, but each capable of existing without the other. They elaborated that spirits were nowhere and did not have places because the spirits has no extension, measurable in length, breadth, and depth. The common view among philosophers and theologians that spiritual substances were spatially presented but were spread out three-dimensionally and could not ascribed places in Cartesian senses. They believed that God is present to all creatures because he creates them and conserves them. God is also present to bodies because he extends them and contains them, arranges, moves and stops them.
