Does a soul really need to have a metaphysical existence to be acknowledged for what it is?
My question to MK is: What if it turned out to be just as Nietzsche says, and the thing you call the soul turned out to be ultimately physical in nature? Doesn't it deserve the same respect and regard that you gave to it before? Does a soul only deserve moral respect if it is immaterial?
Nietzsche Wrote:"Body am I, and soul"-- thus speaks the child. And why should one not speak as children?
But the awakened and knowing say:"Body am I entirely, and 'soul' is just a word for something about the body."
