It is difficult to find a person who will claim that the soul does not exist. It is almost impossible to find someone who can explain what the soul is. Numerous scientists and philosophers have tried to understand this phenomenon throughout human history. Does the soul live after a person dies? Are we born with a soul or do we form it during our lives? Is the soul a fiction, a metaphor? These are the questions asked by prominent thinkers of the world.

Norwegian philosopher, professor Ole Martin Gjostad studies in detail the history of the soul for three millennia from antiquity to modernity, in Buddhism and Islam. Different perspectives - historical, literary, philosophical, psychological and biological - are presented in the book "The Soul. Search, History and Culture" gives a lot of food for interesting conclusions and encourages reflection.
