Abstract

Psychology is one of the issues that have been entangled in the human mind since ancient times. Celibacy and physicality of the soul is one of the issues of psychology. The view of the physicality of the soul has been proposed with different approaches by materialist thinkers and most theologians. One of these approaches is the subtle physicality of the soul, which has been favored by dissociative thinkers in the present age. This research aims to explain the philosophy of the subtle body of the soul, why and with what motivation the soul is first considered to be a body and material, and secondly, soft and different from normal bodies, and after the explanation, it has evaluated and analyzed this issue. Due to the favor of dissociative thinkers to the theory of the subtle physicality of the self, this research has analyzed the issue based on the opinions of these thinkers. In order to achieve this goal, in this problem-oriented research, the information needed for the research has been collected through library study, especially in the works of Yassian, and then the problem has been analyzed with evaluation and intellectual and narrative reflections. In this research, it became clear that negative philosophies such as "rejecting the celibacy of the self" and "rejecting the body as being dirty" and affirmative philosophies that can be analyzed into two types of "epistemological arguments" and "non-epistemological factors" are the source of the desire for the subtle physicality of the self. has been By reflecting on these philosophies, the author criticizes them and believes that these philosophies are not enough for the subtle body of the soul.
