Aristotle's on the Soul
Book • 2021
Aristotle's treatise "On the Soul" is a cornerstone of Western philosophy, exploring the nature of the soul and its relationship to the body.
Aristotle rejects the Platonic notion of a separate, immortal soul, instead arguing for a hylomorphic view that integrates matter and form.
He examines various aspects of the soul, including its vegetative, sensitive, and rational capacities.
The work explores the relationship between the soul and the body, arguing that the soul is the form or essence of the living organism.
"On the Soul" has had a profound influence on subsequent philosophical and scientific thought, shaping our understanding of consciousness, life, and the human condition.
