Varieties of dualism according to which an immaterial mind causally
affects the material body and vice-versa have come under strenuous
attack from different quarters, especially in the 20th century.
Critics of dualism have often asked how something totally immaterial
can affect something totally material. This is the basic problem of
causal interaction...
...it is not clear where the interaction would take place.
...how does the interaction takes place...
Possible replies to the objections;
...it might be possible for mind to influence the distribution of
energy, without altering its quantity...
