The following is the explanation of the soul in the past ... (for reference only)
It is generally regarded as a basic factor in human life, which can dominate human perception and activities. According to the research of modern archaeologists and anthropologists, it is speculated that human beings had the concept of soul from 25 thousand to 50 thousand years ago, or the concept of living after death. However, generally speaking, primitive people's simple and simple concept of soul often contains strong material character. It was not until religion and philosophy gradually developed that the concept of human soul began to tend to the immaterial' spiritual unity'. For example, some religions and philosophies believe that the soul can exist alone after the death of the body, and then regard it as an immortal spiritual entity.
Although Gai admits the existence of soul, many religions, philosophies and sociology all advocate the existence of soul, but there are great differences in the theory of evil nature and its characteristics, origin and research. Some people claim that it is synonymous with spirit or soul, such as the word soul-life, which is almost the same as spiritual life and spiritual life. Those who advocate the theory of soul, if they talk about the relationship between body and mind, are based on dualism. From the perspective of the relationship between spirit and pragmatics, it is based on ontology. Phenomenology, realism, materialism and other theories have appeared in modern philosophy, which generally oppose the existence of the soul and deny that the soul is real.
Buddhism does not talk about the dual view of soul and body, the theory of immortality of soul and so on. Because Shi Zun did not answer the similarities and differences between soul and body (that is, there was no record), which denied the view that soul and body could be completely divided into two. Buddhism attaches importance to the existence of mind from the subject of practice; This ontology is completely based on the relationship between mind and matter, and does not regard one as an immortal entity and one as an illusion of birth and death, but thinks that mind and matter are empty and have no self. However, when the theory of samsara was adopted by Buddhism, the subject of samsara caused great controversy in the history of Buddhism, such as the "debate on immortality of immortals" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. As a result, the subject of reincarnation presents a color similar to the soul.
In Christian doctrine, spirit and soul are two independent parts:
In the Old Testament, the spirit of Hebrew is R? Wach has a wide meaning and can mean breath, air, wind or strength. Also refers to the direction or aspect (side, translated as "square" or "face"). Simply put, spiritual domination mainly refers to the immaterial essence of life, including:
(a) There are no flesh and blood things in the spiritual world, such as gods, angels, demons or evil spirits.
(b) The immaterial element of flesh and blood is the spirit or spiritual life.
(c) the psychological and emotional expression of a person's inner spiritual character or character, so spirit is also translated as "anger"; Courage (that is, courage).
