«Are We Bodies or Souls?» is the philosophical essay by Richard Swinburne, published by Oxford University Press in hardcover (208 pages, in English).
Swinburne argues that we are souls, not conscious machines. A thought experiment with brain transplants shows that neuroscience would not know whether the resulting person is the same or someone new. Sensations, thoughts and intentions would be conscious events of the soul that cause brain events, and each soul would define our identity.
Originally published in 2019, the volume is framed within the philosophy of mind and religion, with special attention to metaphysics and the debate on personal identity.
Aimed at readers interested in philosophy of mind, dualism and the debate between science and religion.
