2. Do philosophers ever discover new things? If they don’t; is that a failure?

3. Is philosophy today is in better or worse shape than it was when you started? Are you optimistic about its future?

4. Your book is about what human beings are; why do you talk about souls rather than minds?

5. Does it make sense for non-religious people to talk about souls?

6. Is science unable to answer the question of what human beings are?

7. Are there some things about us which are simply beyond scientific understanding?
