I came across a fairly interesting talk by the philosopher Ian McGilchrist recently. He basically said that 'soul' still has a function in our language to talk about human existence and experience insofar as it relates to the whole of life in all of its poetic, mysterious and undefinable depth. While he went on a bit too long about what he didn't mean by the term 'soul', I think he at least presented a reasonable case for why 'soul'-language might still be useful (as part of our ordinary language). The talk is on youtube Ian McGilchrist - Talk on the Soul.
