Starting with Catholic practices in November, which we dedicate Masses on the 2nd November especially for the Repose of the Souls of the Dead. He examines Prayers for the Dead, which express a human longing for connection with those who have passed.
The discussion delves into historical perspectives on the soul from different cultures, comparing the non-material, immortal soul of Plato with Aristotle’s view of the soul as a life force intertwined with the body.
