Abstract

 

 

This paper attempts to understand the relationships among the various elements
of the human person: body, mind, spirit, soul, ego, consciousness, and self as viewed
from the Western philosophical tradition. The paper argues that in order to know the
soul, one should know the self because it is the self – not the mind or body – that
represents the human person. Moreover, it is important to understand the spiritual
underpinnings of the self for the purpose of reconciliation.
