Quote:What is a soul?
What is it made of?
Does it interact with the material world?
If it does, how can we measure its activity based on its interactions with the material world?
If it doesn't, what does it explain that can't be better explained by a materialist solution?
1. No clue how to define it. I believe that Soul and Body are separate and that we don't "have" a soul, but "are" a soul and have a body.
2. No clue
3. Well I suppose in some sense yes, in that I believe people are souls that have physical bodies that interact with the material world
4. Don't know.
5. Again, don't know.
Hope that was clear enough for you Luc.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
