“The Immortal Mind” by Michael Egnor and Denyse O’Leary

About this episode

The episode discusses the arguments presented in 'The Immortal Mind' about the human mind and the existence of an immortal soul.

“The Immortal Mind” by Michael Egnor and Denyse O’Leary is a beautifully unsettling book in the best sense: it disturbs the shallow certainty that we are nothing but our brains and quietly reawakens the ancient conviction that we are spiritual beings created for more than this life. Drawing on decades of neurosurgical experience and a deep engagement with both modern neuroscience and classical philosophy, Egnor and O’Leary argue that the human mind cannot be explained by matter alone because at the core of each person is an immaterial, immortal soul. The result is a narrative that feels both scientifically rigorous and spiritually hopeful, a rare combination in contemporary discussions about consciousness.
