The Problem Of The Soul by Owen J. Flanagan
"The Problem of the Soul" delves into the complex intersection of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience in exploring the concept of the self and consciousness. The book critically examines traditional views of the soul and self, arguing against the notion of an immaterial soul as traditionally conceived in many religious and philosophical doctrines. Instead, it advocates for a more scientifically grounded understanding of human nature, emphasizing that consciousness and the self can be explained through the workings of the physical brain. The author integrates insights from various disciplines to challenge deeply held beliefs and to propose a more coherent and empirically supported view of human identity and morality.
