Do We Have a Soul?: A Debate

Are we made entirely of matter, like sticks and stones? Or do we have a soul--a nonphysical entity--where our mental lives take place? The authors Eric T. Olson and Aaron Segal begin this accessible and wide ranging debate by looking at the often-overlooked question of whether we appear in ordinary experience to be material things.
