Dualism is an attractive philosophy with an Achilles' heel. Dualists since Descartes have never given a satisfactory answer to the problem of interaction.
I’ve been trying to figure out a plausible mechanism of interaction for many years, and finally, I’ve got one. I have a working resolution to the mind-body problem that solves the problem of interaction.
It not only supports substance dualism, but substance pluralism, which doesn’t restrict the amount of ontological categories to only two.
If you’re sympathetic to dualism, or are familiar with its history, this is the type of theory we wanted Descartes to figure out a few centuries ago.
I call it a theory of "indirect interaction".
