It "exists" in social reality. Whether that satisfies what one considers "existing" varies.

No doubt. Modern psychology has much more useful models for the interaction between the conscious and subconscious (reason and the lower order of the soul - emotion and appetite - as Plato would call them). These spheres are not as distinct as Plato imagined.

His evidence is also not what we'd call objective.

the soul is the mind, the energy flowing through you that drives your body, etc. of course it exists, i summon them, remember? heh heh. and it exists, simply because it does, it is your consciousness, your self-awareness, etc. if it did not exist...your body would be a bag of lifeless rotting meat, right now its just a plain ole bag of meat thats self aware...

Those are working definitions, apt to be amended as information is gathered.

Exist in what context? If it's a "thing," it exists. Why? Because that's the function of "things".

I've wondered what a soul was for a long time. People have very different opinions about what it is and whether souls exist at all. I don't believe we have one because no one can agree as to what a soul is.
