Will, Thought, Extension

Since Descartes, Extension has been a cardinal feature of modern Philosophy. But, as has been previously discussed here, even Vitalist theories treat Extension as a fait accompli, i. e. they fail to consider that Extension is the product of a process of Extending. Such neglect abets Thought-Extension dualism, since it preempts the possibility of the latter resulting from a process that has the former as its point of departure, e. g. the possibility of Will, as defined here. Instead, Motility, and deliberate conduct, in general, is typically characterized, often groundlessly, as a fall of mental substance into alien material substance, in contrast with which, the interpretation that posits a fortuitous parallelism between Thought and Extension, respects, with greater consistency, the posited dualism.
