But that traditional idea has been seriously questioned by much recent research in the brain sciences. In Neuroscience and the Soul fourteen distinguished scholars grapple with current debates about the existence and nature of the soul. Featuring a dialogical format, the book presents state-of-the-art work by leading philosophers and theologians -- some arguing for the existence of the soul, others arguing against -- and then puts those scholars into conversation with critics of their views. Bringing philosophy, theology, and neuroscience together in this way brings to light new nuances and significantly advances the ongoing debate over body and soul. - back of book. 650 0 Mind and body|xReligious aspects|xChristianity. 650 0 Theological anthropology|xChristianity. 650 0 Human beings. 650 0 Persons. 650 0 Neurosciences. 650 0 Soul. 700 1 Crisp, Thomas M.,|eeditor. 700 1 Porter, Steven L.,|d1970-|eeditor. 700 1 Ten Elshof, Gregg,|d1970-|eeditor.
