This OP is dipping into one of the most fascinating subjects known. Personally, I don't subscribe to the idea of a soul. But I stop short of truly criticizing the idea because some of the greatest human minds took it very seriously. I don't believe you can dismiss the idea as a "primitive concept" when people like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle gave it serious consideration.

To whom are you referring to when you say "ancient"?
Why is it so?
