But if the materialist insists that, in the last analysis, we can’t explain how any mental event could cause any physical event to happen, a simple response is available to the dualist. In the last analysis, we can never explain what it is for any event of any sort to cause another event. It’s a mystery. Are you surprised to hear that? The simple, and confounding, truth is that there is no generally accepted scientific or philosophical account of causation that allows us to ever really understand, in the deepest possible sense, the nature of causation. So we never really know, in the deepest sense, what it is for anything to cause anything else. Therefore, the dualist is in no worse position than anyone who believes in any sort of causation in this world.
