As mentioned last week, I want to explore classical views on what human life actually is - a topic with ramifications for both evolution and determining the time of death. As a starting point for this discussion, we will begin with Ramban's commentary on the creation of man. The problem with Ramban's comments is that they are so richly packed with ideas that it's difficult to explore them in a blog format. So what I want to do is to isolate different aspects of Ramban's comments and dedicate a separate post to each aspect.
