Descartes argued for a mental world as separate from the physical world.[6] Debates regarding free will include how it could be possible for anything in the mental world to have an effect on the physical world. In various forms of Epiphenomenalism, the physical world can cause effects in the mental world, but not conversely.[3][6]
