Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Eric Hernandez about his chapter in the book Faith Examined titled, "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be a Physicalist: A Case for the Soul." Some of the topics we discussed include the definition of the soul, the relationship between the mind and the brain and the arguments against physicalism. He also presents three arguments for the existence of the soul: identity through change, indivisibility of personhood, and the argument from free will. Hernandez further emphasizes that if physicalism is true, determinism is also true, which would undermine moral responsibility and intellectual integrity.
