Yale's PHIL course on Death 3:

arguments/questions:

(do) you need the soul to explain the animation of the body.?

(robots... free will...)

(do) you need the soul in order to explain free will.?

argument: a machine can't believe/have desires

(consider how we ascribe desires to a chess program for example)

(dualist: but it's just us personifying. machines can't feel emotionally)

...

"no merely physical thing can feel emotions,

so there must be more to us than a merely physical thing."
