The Evolution of the Soul






Book Description

Men have evolved from animals, and animals from inanimate matter, but what has evolved is qualitatively different from the inanimate matter from which it began. Both men and the higher animals have a mental life of sensation, thought, purpose, desire, and belief. Although these mental states in part cause, and are caused by, brain states, they are distinct from them. Richard Swinburne argues that we can only make sense of this interaction by supposing that mental states are states of a soul, a mental substance in interaction with the body.


Although both have a rich mental life, human souls, unlike animal souls, are capable of logical thought, have moral beliefs, have free will, and have an internal structure (so that their beliefs and desires are formed largely by other beliefs and desires inherent in the soul). Professor Swinburne concludes that there is no full scientific explanation available for the evolution of the soul, and almost certainly there never will be. For this revised edition Professor Swinburne has taken the opportunity to strengthen or expand the argument in various places, to take account of certain developments in philosophy in the intervening years, and to add new discussion of important matters relating to the themes of the book, including connectionism and quantum theory.

Men evolved from apes, and apes from more primitive animals, and the primitive animals evolved from the soup of inanimate atoms which consolidated to form the Earth some four thousand million years ago.


Although there is much uncertainty about the exact stages and mechanisms involved, the fact of evolution is evident. Even more evident, to my mind, is the fact that what has evolved is different, radically and qualitatively, from that from which it has evolved. Rocks and rivers are not conscious; they do not have thoughts, sensations, and purposes; but men, and some animals, do have thoughts, sensations, and purposes. And having a thought or a sensation or a purpose is not just having some physico-chemical event occur inside one of greater complexity than the physico-chemical events which occur in rocks and rivers.


It is not the same sort of thing at all. The mental life of thought, sensation, and purpose may be caused by physico-chemical events in the brain, but it is something quite different from those events: it is rich in inbuilt colour, smell, and meaning. The process of evolution so rearranged the atoms and molecules as to bring about creatures with a life of conscious experience, which is something altogether new in the history of the universe....
