It is surely not coincidental that the term 'soul' should mean not
only the centre of a creature's life and consciousness, but also a
thing or action characterised by intense vivacity ('that bike's got
soul!'). It also seems far from coincidental that the same
contemporary academic discussions that have largely cast aside the
language of 'soul' in their quest to define the character of human
mental life should themselves be so bloodless, or so lacking in
soul. The Resounding Soul arises from the opposite premise: that
the task of understanding human nature is bound up with the more
critical task of learning to be fully human. The papers collected
here are derived from a conference in Oxford sponsored by the
Centre of Theology and Philosophy and explore the often surprising
landscape that emerges when human consciousness is approached from
this angle. Drawing upon literary, philosophical, theological,
historical, and musical modes of analysis, these essays remind the
reader of the power of the ancient language of soul over against
contemporary impulses to reduce, fragment, and overly determine
human selfhood.
