The Soul and Personal Identity

Philosophy of Religion explores the soul and personal identity, typically questioning if we are more than just our physical bodies. The 'soul' refers to a spiritual component, conceived to survive physical death, that's unique to each individual. Personal identity looks at what makes you, you - your thoughts, memories, and experiences. The challenge is connecting the physical you (the body) and the non-physical you (the soul). In essence, it questions how your spiritual soul influences your unique identity and whether it persists beyond the body's lifespan. It's a deep exploration of the connection between our visible and invisible selves.
