The Book of St. Luke Voyno-Yasenetsky "Spirit, soul and body" is a treatise on the unity of science and religion. "Science without religion is the sky without the sun. And science, clothed with light, is an inspired thought, a bright light penetrating the darkness of this world."
In his book, Archbishop Luke examines the theory of higher nervous activity of Academician Pavlov, which was announced to be the highest achievement of materialism in the Soviet Union, and reveals that the only philosophical teaching able to include the Pavlovian theory is the Henri Bergson’s theory, the most anti-materialistic of all that philosophy gave in the twentieth century.
This book is not a tractate on dogmatic theology or anthropology. St. Luke considers man as a unity of three components: spirit, soul and body. However, the distinction between spirit and soul is not at all a metaphysical statement. All those concepts presented by the author are to a large extent dynamic: recognizing the bodily impact to the spiritual component of man, the author oversees the reverse influence of the spirit on the body. He calls the sphere of the spiritual component domination as the “spirit”, and the sphere where spiritual closely involves body and depends on it as the “soul”.
St. Luke examined movements, connections and properties of elementary particles in human organism, proving that they can make the human soul; he pointed out the difference between bodily perceptions and feelings of the soul. The author defined “heart” as an organ of human communication with God, as the organ of God cognition.
