How would a substance dualist respond to thos criticism?
This criticism focuses on Descartes empirical claim that the body is infinitely divisible.
A counterargument to Descartes' Indivisibility Argument suggests that bodies have limited division / some bodies (ie. body parts) can never be divided.
But how could a substance dualist counterargue this?

I don't have a full understanding of the topic, but I think a substance dualism might be able to say that the mental state is entirely separate from the physical state and therefore can't be physically divided? I don't really know, I haven't heard of this before. If you could put this in layman's terms for me I might be able to help more.
