In this brief interview, I comment on the existence of the soul, the nature of consciousness, and the relevance of neuroscience to questions about human nature, spirituality, life after death, and mental life. It is a handy paraphrase of much of my work and perspective in philosophy of mind and metaphysics for the last twenty-five years.
