The only reason western culture still entertains the concept of soul is because Aristotle thought the brain was just an organ for cooling blood

What makes you think the western tradition is the most developed philosophy? Sartre is nothing compared to a Shankara

It shocked me when I found out how many ameritards still believe there's such a thing as a soul. I was always taught it was a quaint historical folklore belief like leech bleeding or witch burning and only ever encountered the idea of the soul in history of philosopher and such places.

I know for a fact that people were definitely killed by discus injuries to the head. Has there been nobody who had sustained a discus injury to the head and survived with neurological defect? Or did they just let these people die and never thought anything of the neurological defect?

the soul unironically exists though. every culture believes in the soul except neutered cumbrain cultures like your degenerate scummy secular fucking cunt nation.

>In the 4th century BC, Hippocrates believed the brain to be the seat of intelligence (based, among others before him, on Alcmaeon's work). During the 4th century BC Aristotle thought that, while the heart was the seat of intelligence, the brain was a cooling mechanism for the blood.

lemme guess what you think a soul is, some gooey ectoplasm wearing a halo and strumming a harp that leaves your body when you die like when someone casts Death in Final Fantasy, right?

consciousness is transcendental to matter. Scientists have never been able to explain it, or even get close, because their models have no power to probe it. Neurology has told us practically nothing, and will continue to do so. Therein lies "the soul."

If you're suggesting consciousness is impervious to scientific inquiry, you're embarrassingly wrong.

It is a given within the scientific community that the question regarding a full explanation of conscious is not a matter of 'if' but 'when'.
