The Mind Body Problem

There are a number of different models of the mind body problem. One solution is simply to point out that, in general, there doesn't have to be a conceptual or logical connection between causes and effects. That isn't even true at the physical level. Some duellists have argued that we don't have to have a theory about how mind and body interact,. except that we have good evidence that they interact. And it appears all our evidence is that there is a clear causal connection between a mental volition to raise one's arm and the arm being raised.
