In this article, I will study Spinoza's mind and body theory, first explain various interpretations of his mind and body theory, such as homosexuality, idealism, classicism, materialism and so on. From critical comments on these inappropriate explanations, Spinoza 's argument about mind - body relationships should be understood as a non - causal relationship between the mind and the body, and they have the same weight I will. Parallel interpretation is compatible with the above understanding, but traditional parallelization can not be attributed to Spinoza. His parallelism arises from his argument about identity between the mind and the body, and this assertion is based on his material monism and attribute binaryism. Therefore, we must understand Spinoza's mind and body theory as an identity theory. It leads to a parallel relationship between the mind and the body. Since the dual aspect theory coincides with the identity and parallelism between thinking and the body, Spinoza's theory should be attributed to a double aspect theory. Furthermore, as Spinoza maintains material monism and attribute dualism (assuming that thought and extended attributes are objectively seen, this is different), Spinoza's theory includes psychological events and physics There is identity between events. There is no identity between spiritual and physical attributes. Psychological and physical events are the same events described under psychological and physical attributes, respectively. From the discovery of identity in Spinoza 's individuals or events it is possible to think that his theory should also be understood as a symbolic identity theory, rather than discovering the identity of the attribute.
Spinoza's mind theory is totally representative mind theory. For Spinoza psychology is only representative content. In Ethics 2p7, he argues that "the order and connection of thinking is consistent with the order and connection of things", that is, parallel ideas exist for each extended objective. This is called parallel processing. From this point of view, Spinoza can develop his theory of mind: "The first thing that makes up the actual existence of human thought is only the concept of a single existing thing" (2 p 11) . Each heart is an idea that has its own object in itself - in the case of a human being, the mind is the thought of the body and everything that happens in the body is expressed in the mind (he discussed in 2 p 12 and 2 p 13 like) . The mind is a special idea representing a single object, the body in which it is parallel. (Please refer to Della Rocca 1996 for details on Spinoza's representative mind theory.)

For Spinoza, the human body has extended attributes, human thought has attributes of thought and expression. Also, the mind and body may express the possibilities of reality in parallel, or the mind and body may be the same substance (substance) considered under different attributes. In the language Spinoza inherited from Descartes, the idea is an expression of ideas. This led to Spinoza's famous conclusion that the human heart is equivalent to the human mind. The
