Locating the Soul in an Age of Molecular Medicine

Pollack, Robert

In "Locating the Soul in an Age of Molecular Medicine," Robert Pollack discusses the intersection of science, medicine, and spirituality. He reflects on the challenges of integrating the concept of the soul with the advances in molecular medicine, which often reduce human experience to biological processes. Pollack argues that while science can explain many aspects of the human body, it cannot capture the essence of the soul, which remains a deeply personal and spiritual concept. He advocates for a holistic approach to medicine that respects both the scientific and spiritual dimensions of human life.
