Whatever adjective/noun is used is still describing the same thing.No. The argument is over where such a "Thing" is active in relation to a human body. I can assure you, it's not the heart, and when the ancients speak of it floating "about through the whole body," being "enclosed in the head" or "the crown of the head," or "around the basis of the brain," or "in the membranes thereof," or "in the space between the eyebrows," there's no confusion over what "body," "head," "crown," "brain," "membranes," or "space between the eyebrows" may be referring to. But you think when it talks of the "heart" it has a non-literal, special meaning?
Perhaps I misunderstood you. The argument is not over what that "Thing" is?
I do not consider the "heart" to be anything special.
As a Psychologist I believe everything that makes a person who they are, is contained the brain. Personality, unconscious, subconscious and etc. People are just organic supercomputers. Rather unexciting when compared to a "soul".
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
