Do living creatures, man included have a spirit/soul or are we just what we see of each other?
Well, I do find the concept of "soul" or "spirit" useful to describe the phenomenon about which you are speaking, but I don't think the soul is anything more than an emergent property of the complex interactions between the neurons in our brains, nor do I believe that this soul has any permanence after those neurons cease to function.
