Abstract

"The Creation of Self: A Case for the Soul" by Joshua Farris explores the philosophical argument for the existence of the soul and its origins. Farris presents a neo-Cartesian dualism view, arguing that human beings are constituted by both a nonphysical soul/mind and a physical body. He delves into the unity of consciousness and phenomenal consciousness to support his case for substance dualism. Farris considers various theories on the origin of the soul, ultimately advocating for creationism as the best explanation. The book is well-researched and contributes to discussions in philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and philosophical theology, making it beneficial for students and scholars in these fields.
