单项选择题
Though agreeing with Descartes that consciousness and extension are
qualitatively distinct, Spinoza’s dual-aspect theory denied that consciousness
and extension are inherent characteristics of two finite substances, treating
Line them instead as attributes of the infinite substance of a transcendent
(5) intelligence. While mental occurrences can dictate only other mental
occurrences and physical motions can determine only other physical motions,
mind and body exist in pre-established coordination, since the same self
-consistent intelligence establishes affinities and connections within both classes.
Another alternative, psychophysical parallelism, retains both the dualism of
(10) mind and body and the notion of a regular correlation between mental and
physical events, but avoids any assumption of causal mind-body connection,
direct or indirect. Psychophysical parallelism eschews interactionism, stating
that mental and physical could not possibly affect one another, and also rejects
occasionalism and dual-aspect theory on the grounds that no third entity,
(15) including a transcendent intelligence, could be responsible for such vastly different
effects. Parallelists accept only pure correlations, not causation, between mental and
physical events.
A．Through a relationship of correlation, mental occurrences can only determine other mental occurrences.
B．Through a relationship of causation, physical occurrences can only determine other physical occurrences.
C．Mind and body exist in pre-established coordination provided by a third entity, transcendent intelligence.
D．Consciousness and extension, as separate finite qualities, may be described as distinct.
E．One of the necessary attributes of any divine essence is its infinitude.
