Soul Searching - David Malone

This two part series is the sequel to Channel Four's much praised Testing God series which was said by the Times reviewer to be as close to poetry as television gets. Just as Testing God pitted belief in God against what modern science has to say, so Soul Searching tests belief in the Soul. It asks, is the idea of the Soul anything more than a figment of the religious imagination? Is there some real scientific basis for the feeling that many even non religious people have, that in addition to their body and their brain there is something else, some inner essence which is the real core of who and what we are? It is that feeling which Soul Searching examines. The self and our feeling we have one may be making a scientific comeback. But we are still left wondering if the Self is all we are? Or is there some truth underlying the feeling that many have, that there is something else, something deeper than the self. Something we might call the Soul. The second episode, The Undiscovered Country, looks at what that deeper part to us might be.
