Sulzer, a pastor and also a member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences, presented the problem of the immortality of the soul in a naturalist setting. He claimed that the body is indispensable for the soul for its full functioning since without the body, the soul, although perfect, lacks the sensory material coming from the senses and also lacks self-awareness. The soul is one kind of elementary particles with which the creation is filled. In particular, the body, requires the seed which has the program of the orderly development of the body. Since the soul is immortal, virtuous life is necessary for its happy state after the death of the body and the incorporation in a new body.
