The human mind and the human body are two different expressions -- under Thought and under Extension -- of one and the same thing: the person.
Not a useful solution. 'Thought' and 'Extension'? Sounds dualist to me. It's not how you name the two parts, it's that you even consider them to exist. The whole holistic issue is that much of how we're used to think of 'people' is fundamentally flawed and can therefore only lead to flawed conclusions. It goes right back to "I" versus "everything else", the inside and the outside. What we're discussing, really. A new philosophical language is needed to more accurately portray the complicated interconnections that form the whole of a human being.
