Philosophical Question V
Daily Meditation #200 (!) — 9/10/2022
What is “the soul?”
And “Within?”
What is one’s “heart?” As in “In my heart, I believe XYZ.”
Are these all part and parcel of our Id, Ego, and Superego?
Fictitious pieces of our psyche?
God-given gifts? Or, from a different point of view…curses, due to the way we can perceive guilt or shame or pride or any other excruciating, “heart-wrenching” experiences?
Is the soul something measurable?
Is it granted to someone cloned?
If there is intelligent life, does it have souls like ours? Or, are their souls different in some way?
What is the difference between ones’ soul and their heart?
Follow for daily philosophical meditations.
These are distillations from my coming book “YouDaimonia: the Ancient Philosophy of Human Flourishing.”
