"However computation alone cannot explain why we have feelings and awareness, an 'inner life.'"

Uhm... the soul just doesn't exist. I don't know why feelings are so connected to an outside world of the physical; I mean they are reactionary and chemically induced. Awareness is just a term we use to describe how a brain reacts within the world, so we are aware with or without a soul, or an 'inner life.'

I think the idea is far too reminiscent of St. Thomas Aquinas. In other words, a load.
