The idea of the heart and soul is accepted in many spiritual traditions and widely used in fictional worlds, yet the idea that we are anything more than physio-chemical microorganisms seems out of step with modern secular thinking. Scuff the top of western school of thought, however, and you find a history filled with quarrels towards the idea that we are embodied souls. This reserve provides a clear and concise history of the heart and soul, from Plato to cutting-edge modern work in school of thought of mind. Consuming the quarrels of influential thinkers, such as Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, and Hume, Goetz and Taliaferro take on keys issues, such as the issue of mind-body discussion, the causal closure of the physical world, and the philosophical implications of the brain sciences for the soul's living. A Brief Record of the Heart brings together historical and modern scholarship to examine one of the fundamental questions of your living.
