Ep. 188 - Aristotelian Animalism and Immortal Souls w/Dr. Christopher Tomaszewski

Are human beings animals? Do we have immortal souls? Can we survive the death of our bodies? In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Christopher Tomaszewski to discuss his dissertation, Mortal Persons and Their Immaterial Souls, wherein he argues for a corruptionist take on Aristotelian Animalism, i.e., we are a hylemorphic unity of form and matter, called the human animal, but our form, or soul, survives the death of the body, though 'we' do not, since 'we' are the unity of our soul and body.  Find more from Christopher here:  https://firstphilosophy.weebly.com/ If you like this podcast, then support it on Patreon for $3, $5 or more a month.
