The article discusses the action and substance in the philosophical ideas of philosophers Rene Descartes and Isaac Newton. Descartes believes that the essence of God exists in extension, but is not essentially extended. Newton argues that canonical Cartesian dualism is burdened with the claim that the mind is nowhere and that dualism is opaque as the mind cannot be present to the body if not extended. However, both agree that the substance of God is omnipresent.
