Abstract
The CedarEthics podcast for November, 2007 is a discussion of the soul, and how this impacts our understanding of human personhood. We look back at Plato’s dialogue Phaedo, and we examine the history of the concept. We also look at the soul in Scripture.
Finally, we consider a beautiful engraving by William Blake, to illustrate a Robert Blair poem, The Grave, and how it captures the idea of the soul.
