Detailed explanation-1: -Definition: According to Descartes, a very fine air or wind released by cavities in the brain that travel through hollow tubes to muscles, causing them to move.
Detailed explanation-2: -On the one hand, Descartes argues that the mind is indivisible because he cannot perceive himself as having any parts. On the other hand, the body is divisible because he cannot think of a body except as having parts. Hence, if mind and body had the same nature, it would be a nature both with and without parts.
Detailed explanation-3: -As in perception, Descartes applied the term ‘idea’ again to the flow of animal spirits from the pineal gland: “And note that if we have an idea about moving a member, that idea-consisting of nothing but the way in which spirits flow from the gland-is the cause of the movement itself” (AT XI:181; Hall 1972, p. 92).
