#39 – “The True Nature of the Soul”: Chapter 5 of Have We Lost Our Minds?

Listen Later

In this episode, we continue our series by engaging Chapter 5 of Stan’s new book, Have We Lost Our Minds?: Neuroscience, Neurotheology, the Soul, and Human Flourishing.

 

We discuss:

  • What is an “individuated human nature,” and why is each of these words important?
  • Natures have capacities; the ability to manifest a capacity is a faculty. What kinds of faculties do humans have?
  • What makes human consciousness unique?
  • How can asking “What is it like?” questions help engage people in conversation about the soul?
  • How do our human faculties interact?
  • How do studies on near-death (or after-death!) experiences help us understand the nature of the soul?
  • What does it mean to be a substance that has properties?
