The Soul with Emile Alexandrov

New Thinking AllowedAug 28, 2026

Psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove and philosopher Emile Alexandrov trace how the idea of the soul has shifted across Greek, Buddhist, Islamic, Christian, Enlightenment and modern thought. They contrast the Greek view of the soul as a fragment of cosmic reason, Aquinas's eternal individual soul, and the Buddhist doctrine of no-self that still allows for rebirth. The conversation reaches parapsychological evidence for survival after death and the Russian Cosmist dream of resurrecting every human who has ever lived, while asking whether whatever survives death remains an individual.
