สรุปเนื้อหา

In this excerpt, Prince engages in a philosophical discussion with Master Kassapa about the existence of the soul. The Prince presents a scenario where a felon is punished severely, questioning the ability to observe a soul departing the body through various forms of torment, ultimately revealing no evidence of the soul's existence. This dialogue encourages reflection on the nature of existence and the quest for evidence in philosophy. Such discussions are reminiscent of classic philosophical debates found in ancient texts and encourage deeper understanding of life's mysteries. For more insights, visit dmc.tv.

18. ' Even though Master Kassapa says this, it still appears to me that not one of those things exists. ' ' Have you any further evidence, Prince ? ' ' I have, Master Kassapa.' ' What might that be like ? ' ' Take the case, Master Kassapa, of the men taking a felon red - handed and bringing him up, saying : - " My lord, this felon was caught in the act. Inflict on him what penalty you wish." And I say : - " Well, my masters, kill this man by stripping off cuticle and skin and flesh and sinews and bones and marow. " They do so. And when he is half dead, I say : - " Lay him on his back, and perhaps we may see the soul of him pass out." And they do so, but we see the passing of no soul. Then I say : - " Well then, lay him bent over ... on his side ... on the other side ... stand him up ... stand him on his head ... smite him with your hand ... with clods ... on this side ... on that side ... all over; perhaps we may see the soul of him pass out." And they do so, but we see the passing of no soul.
