Must the Ethical Egoist Believe in the Soul?

As I commented in his post, for my philosophy of individualism (of which ethical egoism is a part) to make any sense, individuals must exist. This means that no matter how similar I may appear and act compared to others, those others and I are fundamentally different entities and therefore ought to be treated that way. What actually differentiates these "human units" is something I cannot explain clearly, but the term "soul" works well enough for me and is better than "personality," which is what I used in the past.
