Nature of the Soul and Immortality
The soul is defined as the principle that makes a living thing what it is and determines its type, such as plant, animal, or human. Regarding the immortality of the soul, the conversation delves into whether any soul can survive bodily death and, if so, will it endure indefinitely? Philosophical investigations establish the distinction between a soul surviving death and being immortal, requiring a deeper inquiry into the nature of the soul and its existence beyond the material body.
