The Immortality of Aristotle

It would be nice if you could use Aristotle and rational argumentation to prove the Christian doctrine of the afterlife, but sadly you can't. The same conclusion was reached by Alessandro Aquilini and Luca Pracicio, Averaus who taught at Bologna and Naples respectively. Intellect depends on powers that are realized in the body, so it cannot remain once your body dies. Since everyone agrees that the intellect is the part of the soul with the most plausible claim to immortality, this shows that the soul is not immortal at all.
