ABSTRACT: The mind-body problem is far to be an old issue because it keeps rising
new understanding and perception without ceasing. In the contemporary philosophy
of mind, the essence of the question should not be any more whether there is a
distinction between mind and body. Rather philosophers should be more focused
on the interaction between mind and body. The new interest is how does it
happen? This article argues the eminence of the mind over the body. Mind-body
interaction is not equal. It is rather the relation of dominion in which the mind
masters the body. When the contrary happens, we call that misleading. In that
case, the man becomes a slave of passion going here and there without focus.
Whenever the mind remains in control, man reaches certainly to the goal.
