 In other words, a certain (itself complex) “part” of the divine infinite intellect will count as a “human mind” iff it essentially represents a certain physical existent. It is in this intentional or representationalrelation (and not for example, per impossibile, in some causal relation [see 1.2]) that the mind-body “union” consists in Spinoza’s view: “We have shown that the Mind is united to the Body from the fact that the Body is the object of the Mind” (E2p21d) (cf. Renz 2018).
