Hi Evgenii Rudnyi Leibniz divides the world into physical and mental states, each a reflection of the other. The mental is mental and the physical is not an illusion. You canstill stub your toe on a rock. This philosophy is called Idealism.

The question remains though if under physicalism one says that mental states are actually physical states. Then I do not know how to employ such a consideration in this case.
