Do we have a soul?
Most of us are still happy to divide the world into the realm
that belongs to science and the realm that belongs to the soul,
or to literature. Far from being a religion,
for these writers science presented itself as a threat, while poetry,
prose and prayer, or simply any protestation
of the sacred supremacy of the individual’s secret life,
were all forms of noble resistance.
Stanley will present two books that take opposing sides of this debate.
