The article discusses a secular idea of the soul, focusing on the mind's connection to the soul and the body. It draws from Plato's views on the soul but without the complex philosophical aspects. The paper argues that this concept helps understand human potential for evil actions, filling a gap in Aristotle's ideas about the rational mind. This work aims to create a practical, secular understanding of the soul as a natural part of humans.
