Arguments Against Dualistic Interactionism In Chapter Five

Dualistic Interactionism are one of the many theories that argues that two elements, which is the body and mind are separate yet have some sort of connection or interaction with each other. From what I believe, I do understand and accept the fact that we do have a physical body and that we do have a mind that is not physical, but I have a hard time justifying the concept that the mind and body are two different entities and then the body and mind can really interact with each other. I think the reason being for that is because there are so many crazy theories that are against this one and vice versa. But after reading about some of the concepts regarding dualism in Chapter 5, I can somewhat support some of the points that this theory does
make of dualism that is that mental things like the mind and the physical things like the body are very different and I kind of agree after reflecting upon of what I know or believe already which is that there is no place in our mind or brain where we can tell a person to believe in something or not or whether to even decide upon something or not! We are human and we aren’t perfect and sometimes our opinions or thoughts can be false or even true for that matter. For example, how police use brain wave measurements or even how doctors use those types on technologies to analyze their patients yet no one can tell what that person will EVER be thinking by just physical things like brain wave readings. We need to be asked about what we are really thinking. I really do understand and would have to agree with claim of the mind and body being different
