Is there any school of thought that rejects the notion of soul.

I'm not talking nihilism or atheism that just says the opposite of their counterparts.

I'm talking the belief that there is no soul, which is basically the source of constant worry about being a "good person."

>>	Anonymous Fri May 16 00:31:18 2014 No.4896747 >>4896732 Again, I'm not talking about the religious notion of "soul" that must be good. I'm talking about more of the belief that everything you identify with will die and if something is eternal, it is not you.
