Neo soul

belief that the body and soul are completely separate entities, which can exist without each other. Plato and Descartes were two key philosophers that supported this idea, however philosophers such as Aristotle and Elizabeth Anscombe believed in a less extreme dualism, in which the body and soul are separate but require each other to complete their purpose. Conversely, Richard Dawkins opposes dualism completely and relies on a materialistic view to explain his idea of a ‘soul’- he rejects the…

some research and searching. All we had do to was use a needle to extract the soul of a dying person. We decided not to kill a person but to find someone already dying at a hospital. One of the people on the list of almost dead was Laurel Lance. Laurel willingly said that we could extract her soul with the needle while she was dying. In a few minutes, Laurel had slipped into cardiac arrest. We had to extract her soul quickly; I couldn’t find the strength to do it. Sam said,” Hand me the needle,…

The debate over personal identity has risen about as something that is concerning for many other philosophers, not only John Locke. The definition of personal identity is “the concept you develop about yourself that evolves over the course of your life” (1). John Locke presents a variety of views regarding the problem of personal identity in society. These views along with a critique of the flaws in his personal identity theory are brought about through this essay. Different views have been…

started by Lord Brahma; creator of the universe, Vishnu; sustains creation, and Shiva; destroyer of all evil. These three Gods are behind the creation and destruction of the world. Brahma created human life from different parts of his body and his soul. It is their belief that everything in the universe was already here and that God is part of that. This is completely different from the Biblical Worldview that states that God created everything. Genesis1:1 “in the beginning God created the…

Mind-brain identity theory seems to be in conflict with many philosophers to show the connection between brain and mind. It is very much based on the scientific evidence more than the theory itself. The science can be a reliable source to believe. However, as time passes there will be more technological tools that can be use to experiment the findings and clarify the doubt in the future and it might change the entire result or came up with the new theory. In this point, I am standing on the side…

the new heaven and new earth of the world to come. Afterlife: some denominations believe that after death, the soul goes and sleeps and doesn’t wake up until the resurrection. Others believe that the soul will go to an intermediate place and stay their while it is awake. One of the beliefs about afterlife is the purgatory, which is teached by Catholics. They believe that when the soul is not condemned to hell, but is not pure enough to go to heaven, it will go to the purgatory, where it will be…

What does it mean when you hear the term “restorith my soul” used? I guess before we can answer that question, we should ask several other questions first. When you or lost, what would the number one issue of importance be to you? In the worldly sense we can easily become disoriented. In a very short period of time a lost person can become totally confused and not have the slightest idea of how to get back to where they had begun their journey. We also become confused about how to properly live…

In Phaedo, Socrates friends refused to wholly accept Socrates' ideas on the theory of souls, and Simmias in particular puts forward his “theory of attunement”. Simmias claims that “we really do suppose the soul to be something of this kind,” that is, a harmony or proper mixture of bodily elements like the hot and cold or dry and moist. Simmias considers that during our lifetime, we must constantly strive to achieve some sort of certainty, and that this certainty might only be achieved by…

Dualism can be defined as dividing life into two separate categories, the first being secular and the second being spiritual. Secular involves things within the physical and changing world in which humans live. Sacred includes things related to the spiritual and unchanging existence of God. Secular is evident in places/activities such as education, business, arts, sciences, government, hobbies, and entertainment. Sacred is only involved in church-related activities. However, secular/sacred…

In Plato’s The Republic Justice is a prominent and reoccurring theme. There were many questions asked about Justice, its definition, what it consisted of and whether it was a worthwhile investment to be a just person or an unjust person. Plato and his interlocutor’s breakdown and attempt to define justice in the setting of a polis created in thought. The main premise behind this was to observe justice at work so that it could be properly defined. There were two cities that were proposed and…
