The interaction between the soul or the mind and the body, even though it is a matter of conscience and every human being perceives the influence between them conscientiously, has problems whose answers and solutions have been the concern of philosophers of mind. Some of these problems are old and some are new. The views of Cartesian substance dualism, emergentism, and Sadra's view, which considers some levels of the soul and sensual states to be abstract, are addressed to all or some of the problems of mental causation. It seems that the main problem in the issue of subjective causality is the analysis of human existential dimensions from the perspective of physicalism, and these problems will continue to exist until a correct and realistic ontological point of view is presented about humans. This article, with a descriptive and analytical method, after rereading the problems of mental causation, as an example, has dealt with some answers and viewpoints, such as Dretske's solution and the view of Hekmate motaaliee wisdom, which have the possibility of solving the problems of mental causality.
