Q
Dawkins: soul one and two
A
In recent times, Dawkins has labelled the poetic notion of the soul an aesthetic sense within us - ‘soul two’ - which he contrasts with soul one - the traditional non-material essence.
The concept of soul two, or soul as a metaphor, is only the soul in a weak sense and is not a challenge or threat to a materialistic worldview
The soul in this sense is just an ability to react with awe or wonder to the natural world.
