Disney Pixar’s ‘Soul’: How moviemakers took Plato’s view of existence and added a modern twist (THE CONVERSATION) – Ideas about the soul have been powerful throughout the history of religion and philosophy. Until the 19th-century, most people took the existence of souls for granted. With the rise of modern psychology, this belief lost its plausibility, and today it is largely absent from academic philosophical and even theological writing. Many now deny the existence of a soul, considering human emotions and motives simply a function of neurons firing. Disney Pixar’s new film “Soul” seems to go against the grain of this development. It presents its viewers with two realms of being. The first is the realm of human activity, where life occurs. The second realm is of the soul – where life has yet to begin, the great before, and where it ends, the great beyond. In their conception of the soul, the producers hark back to some of the most influential ideas of western intellectual history but in an unmistakably 21st-century way. Souls, bodies and death The film follows Joe Gardner, an aspiring jazz pianist who is stuck in the rut of his daily life as a part-time middle school music teacher. At the beginning of the film, Joe suffers an accident which leaves him hovering between life and death. The viewer observes Joe’s soul separate from its body as it journeys to the great beyond. This starting point accurately mirrors the historical origins of western ideas about the soul. The Greek word for soul – psyche – was originally restricted in its use to the context of dying. Homer describes death as the soul’s departure from its body. At the beginning of its history in the west, the soul was evident primarily in its absence from a dead body. With the rise of Greek philosophy in the sixth century BC, the soul was also seen as the force animating the living body. Meanwhile, the idea of death as the separation of body and soul remained generally accepted. This created tension. If souls were

supposed to enliven a particular body, they had to interact closely with the body and arguably form a unity with it. But then how could the soul survive the body’s decay or even exist separately? A further difficulty arose from the widely shared belief in reincarnation. Could human souls be born again into the bodies of animals or even plants? And if so, how could they then constitute the operational centre, so to speak, of their current host? Plato and Aristotle parted ways over these questions. For Plato, the soul’s connection with the body was only accidental. The hero of Plato’s dialogues, Socrates, explained to his friends, hours before his execution, that the philosopher yearns for his death because it marks the liberation of the soul into its true existence. Plato’s student Aristotle, by contrast, denied that there even was a proper afterlife for the soul. Insofar as the soul was simply the life of the body, he urged, the two formed an indissoluble unity, which death brought to an end. Things took a further turn with the rise of Christianity. Overall, Christians were more sympathetic to the Platonist view than to its alternatives, because
they believed in a life after death. But they rejected the idea of an accidental connection between soul and body. The classical Christian view of the soul as found in Thomas Aquinas fused Platonic with Aristotelian ideas: the soul is immortal but tied in eternity to the identity of a body-soul compound. As such, it will be brought back to life at the end of time. Pixar’s Platonist conception of the soul Against this rough sketch of the western history of the soul, Pixar’s position comes closest to the Platonic view. Souls depart from the dying person and travel to the great beyond. Souls also pre-exist their earthly incarnation, and some of them at least don’t seem overly keen to embark on this journey into life. Souls are immaterial - another tenet of Platonic philosophy - although in the movie they are understandably not invisible. Finally, reincarnation seems possible, even across species as Joe finds out when, for a while, he enters the body of a cat. Yet the parallels only go so far. Joe Gardner is unwilling to accept his departure from earthly life, and much of the movie deals with his attempts to return to his previous existence. For Plato, this would indicate that Joe was a bad person
unable to detach himself from material pleasures. In the film, however, it is this desire that makes Joe remarkable. His companion, a not-yet-born soul introduced only as number 22, learns more from Joe, due to his unbending will to return to Earth, than she did from the souls of Gandhi, Einstein and Jung, who had previously tutored her in preparation for her birth. In the world of 21st-century New York, into which the two enter through an extraordinary series of events, number 22 suddenly develops a lust for life after experiencing the simple pleasures of living — from eating pizza to watching the leaves fall from a tree. None of this would have made much sense to Plato. Rather, the film relies on distinctly modern ideas about the affirmation of the present life as worth living on its own terms. The ultimate “purpose” of the soul is to be the “spark” that imparts the simple gift of life. Joe’s conclusion from his experience as a disembodied soul is to savour every remaining moment of the earthly life he regains at the end of the film. And even number 22 comes to embrace the value of an embodied existence, despite its risks and limitations. These are ideas well known from romantic and existentialist philosophers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) sneered at the notion of personal immortality as the ridiculous wish to perpetuate one’s own miserable existence. Instead, he posited the idea of “immortality in this moment”. The lesson Joe learns, and wants us to learn, from his unusual experience is rather similar, and points to the thoroughly modern cast into which traditional ideas about the soul have been moulded by the makers of this film. • This article is republished from The Conversation, an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.

‘WISE PEOPLE THINK BEFORE THEY ACT; FOOLS DON’T’ BY ALESHA CADET | TRIBUNE FEATURES WRITER ACADET@TRIBUNEMEDIA.NET AT some point in their lives, everyone has probably received the advice to think before they speak. Even the Bible addresses the idea in Proverbs 13:16: “Wise people think before they act; fools don’t - and even brag about their foolishness.” Tribune Religion asked a number of readers their thoughts on this verse as it relates to their personal lives. “Like it says, only fools don’t think before they act and turn around and brag about it. No one is perfect and we all fall short, but a lot of life lessons are right there in plain black and white in the Bible,” said Ashley Johnson. “Don’t be driven by emotions because it never ends wells. Take some time to be quiet, seek your advice from God in your silence, and then, and only then, you will know when to deal with whatever issue you have to deal with; the timing would be clear and right. You don’t have to be a religious person to do this, anyone, and I mean anyone, can seek guidance and direction from God our Father.” Jeff Rolle added to the topic: “Life is hard, and even harder when we do foolish things. Blessed is the one who finds wisdom and seeks knowledge and understanding. This verse also ties into and can relate to the Proverbs 22:3, that

states: ‘The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.’ You just have to determine which one of these persons you would rather want to be in this life. Then there is Proverbs 13:20: ‘Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.’ “Our parents taught us from our childhood days to watch the company you keep, and the message is still the same and even more important in adulthood,” he said. For Jackie Ferguson, she believes wisdom is priceless, definitely more valuable than money in her book. “Wisdom can afford you things money can never buy. And if we are really speaking truths, with no wisdom you will never have money. It goes hand-in-hand. It’s important to think strategically and use common sense,” she said. “I pray to God to help me to know when there is a time to be mute, smile and walk away, and when there are times where my voice needs to be heard. I want to make sure my words are directed by Him. We are human, so there will be times when a circumstance may cause us to react right away, but after sleeping on it, we realise where we went wrong. So, all I can say is pray about the things you want to change.”

“Diary of a Pastor’s Wife” celebrates its debut

OZENS of women who are married to ministers, deacons and bishops got a first look into the pages of “Diary of a Pastor’s Wife” by Eleanor Williams during an intimate and “soulrevitalising” book launch. Eleanor Williams, wife of Bishop Patterson Williams of the Church of Christ Apostolic, a non-denominational ministry in Grand Bahama, has stepped out into the spotlight with the release of the book that has garnered the interested of many women who are walking similar paths. In the book, she shares in great detail the unique challenges one faces when married to a leader of a church. During the launch, several chapters in the book were discussed and Mrs Williams, along with other guest, shared from their hearts the experiences they’ve had. “We brought three of the chapters alive on the couch. We had the first
speaker who spoke about how to balance the demand of ministry and family. She was able to speak concerning that. “A couple came on after that Pastor Cedric and Stacy Beckles. They spoke on chapter six which is focused on guarding your heart for your beloved mate. They explained…about the love life of the pastor and his wife. They also talked about sexual intimacy and how God has ordained sex for couples and how he has anointed it. The crowd was moved and they received them joyfully,” said Mrs Williams. Chapter eight, concerning the lifestyle of a pastor’s wife, was also a highlight discussion session. “Lady Loretta Ferguson…she is a pastor wife who gracefully shared with us how she was healed from breast cancer. She talked about the need for women to rally around each other when we are sick and when we are going through challenges. She said the lifestyle

of a pastor’s wife isn’t just a dressed up one, but it is one of power and prayer.” Mrs Williams said she was happy to present her book to all those who came out for the launch. She felt an automatic connection with them due to their similar matrimonial circumstances. “Pastors’ wives called me and told me they came to my book launch so downtrodden because of everything we went through with the pandemic and the fact that no one was able to come out faceto-face,” said Mrs Williams. “A lady said during the event, ‘I felt virtue came out of me. My head has being lifted up. I was rejuvenated when I came out of your presence. I felt like I was in a room fit for a queen. I felt like I was nurtured and loved. I was rekindled in my life’.” Another highlight of the evening was the cutting of the “diary cake” also decorated with the cover art of for book. Mrs Williams’s book was written in
honour of her late mother, who passed away on August 30, 2012. Her mother, she explained, was her first “coach” and mentor as a pastor’s wife. The book explores issues like the demands of ministry and family on a clergyman’s wife, personal issues a pastor’s wife can face, as well as conflict in ministry and relationship challenges in ministry. “This diary is not just for pastors’ wives, but female and male pastors, co-pastors, church mothers, ministers, pastors’ aids, armour bearers, or just kingdom women in leadership. It is a manual or keepsake. It restores and rebuilds,” said Mrs Williams. The book is currently available at Logos Bookstore in Harbour Bay, The Bible Book & Gift Centre, and on Amazon.
