Incorporeal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Incorporeal refers to the notion or idea that there is an incorporeal realm or place, that is unlike the corporeal or material world. The idea of the immaterial is often used in reference to God or the Divine.
Many philosophers have referred to the incorporeal idea. Most notable are Plato's claims about the realm of immaterial Forms, and Plotinus is a NeoPlatonist with similar ideas. Berkeley's notion of immaterialism is also similar.
The concept of incorporeal things can also be seen other places, such as in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, in which an incorporeal creature is similar to a spirit; a creature with no physical body, much like a ghost.
