'. . . the more honourable animals have been allotted a more
honourable soul. . . ' What is the nature of the soul? It is this
question that Aristotle sought to answer in De Anima (On the Soul).
In doing so he offers a psychological theory that encompasses not
only human beings but all living beings. Its basic thesis, that the
soul is the form of an organic body, sets it in sharp contrast with
both Pre-Socratic physicalism and Platonic dualism. On the Soul
contains Aristotle's definition of the soul, and his explanations
of nutrition, perception, cognition, and animal self-motion. The
general theory in De Anima is augmented in the shorter works of
Parva Naturalia, which deal with perception, memory and
recollection, sleep and dreams, longevity, life-cycles, and
psycho-physiology. This new translation brings together all of
Aristotle's extant and complementary psychological works, and adds
as a supplement ancient testimony concerning his lost writings
dealing with the soul. The introduction by Fred D. Miller, Jr.
explains the central place of the soul in Aristotle's natural
science, the unifying themes of his psychological theory, and his
continuing relevance for modern philosophy and psychology.
