The Three Types of Soul in Aristotle

According to Aristotle, anything that's alive has a soul. The first type is called vegetative and this is the kind of soul that single cell organisms have and plants have. And then there's a hierarchy within the animal kingdom because some animals have only one sense,. Other animals have five senses and then you have everything in between. According to Aristotle, the human soul does three functions. It enables you to be conscious or sincerely aware of data taken in through your senses. And it enables you to think. Of these three types of soul, only one is immortal and that's the human soul.
