Soul dualism

Soul dualism is a concept that suggests that humans have two parts: a body and a soul. The body is physical, meaning it can be seen and touched, while the soul is spiritual, meaning it is not visible or physical, but still exists. The soul is believed to be an immaterial part of a person that is considered to be the part of a person that is more important than their physical body, and is what makes them alive and gives them a sense of self. It is believed that when someone dies, their soul continues to exist in some form, either in the afterlife or in a different realm.
