A Question About Faith — The Sense of the Soul
Question
Hello, honored Rabbi, I saw in the book Thinking, Fast and Slow the argument that the reason we think there is a soul is that “we perceive the world of objects as separate from us in its essence from the world of thought, and thereby make it possible, in the process, to imagine a body without a soul and a soul without a body….”
How should one relate to this claim?
Answer
