Description
Aristotle's De Anima explores the nature of the soul, seeking to reconcile the views of his predecessors, Plato and the Pre-Socratic philosophers. Through a detailed examination of living organisms, Aristotle argues that a materialist reduction and a Platonic sublimation of the soul are both inadequate. This masterpiece of philosophical insight presents a theory of the soul as the ultimate reality of embodied form, offering a nuanced psychology of perception and behaviour.
