Synopsis "Aristotle de Anima (1907) (in English)"
Aristotle De Anima is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle around 350 BC. The book is divided into three parts, each exploring different aspects of the human soul or psyche. In the first part, Aristotle examines the nature of the soul and its relationship to the body. He argues that the soul is the principle of life and that it is responsible for the various functions of the body, such as sensation, perception, and movement.In the second part, Aristotle explores the different faculties of the soul, including the rational, irrational, and vegetative faculties. He argues that the rational faculty is unique to humans and is responsible for our ability to reason and think abstractly. The irrational faculty, on the other hand, is responsible for our emotions and desires. The vegetative faculty is responsible for the basic life functions of growth and nutrition.In the third part, Aristotle examines the relationship between the soul and the external world. He argues that the soul is not only affected by external stimuli but also has the ability to affect the external world through its actions. He also explores the concept of immortality and argues that the soul may be immortal and continue to exist after the death of the body.Overall, Aristotle De Anima is a foundational work in the history of philosophy and has had a significant influence on subsequent philosophical and scientific thought. It is a complex and challenging work that requires careful study and interpretation.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1907 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
