Are we capable to appreciate a raspberry distinguishing - without dividing - its form, its color and its taste? Are we able to identify and to dissociate sun, air, and light? On these same distinction principles and non-separation, ternary anthropology considers that each man's life participates in three different orders of life: physical, mental and spiritual of which participate body, soul and spirit.
If it is easy to dissociate the body (skin, muscles, bones...) from mental (intellect, emotion...) there is no choice but to accept that it is hard to define the frontier which divides soul and spirit. The philosopher Pascal wrote, in the 17th century: the distance between soul and spirit is so big that it is almost not measurable...
Michel Fromaget tries to give us the keys of understanding of this distinction in this 70-minutes presentation establishing that soul is the only mental system of animated beings, and that spirit is "this mysterious inner that only belongs to man and which saints and wise man say there is within him the place where it takes root in God, and where God give himself to him"...
This public conference was filmed in the Collège des Bernardins (Ed : Bernard Clairvaux wrote in the 17th century: "The greatest weakness of contemporary thought is, to me, in extravagant overestimation of known regarding what is left to know") and was within the frame of day « La Porte d’Or de l’Imagination », an homage to the painter T'ANG HAYWEN (www.tanghaywen.org), organized by Mrs Hélène de Laguérie.
