Brief History of the Soul, ch. 8

This chapter surveys the potential discussions, arguments and essential discussion that may take place in the future about the soul. These center on naturalism, cultural considerations, distinctions in physical and mental, and value (and therefore ethical) judgments. Goetz and Taliaferro simply seek to demonstrate that the conversation will continue. They briefly touch on important points in each and address two important ethical issues: abortion and sexual ethics. The soul is one of those foundations upon which one builds an entire worldview and approach to living.
