While I don't think he is necessarily attempting to adress the tripartite/bipartite (and in Willard's case ...hexapartite?) issue, the description of the soul as the overarching and cohesive whole-that-surpasses-the-sum-of-its-parts seems to come much closer to what we understand 'consciousness' to be.
