Aristotle's Idea of the Soul considers the nature of the soul
within Aristotle's psychology and natural philosophy. A survey is
provided of the contemporary interpretations of Aristotle's idea of
the soul, which are prominent in the Aristotelian scholarship
within the analytic tradition. These interpretations are divided
into two positions: `attributivism', which considers the soul to be
a property; and `substantialism', which considers it to be a thing.
Taxonomies are developed for attributivism and substantialism, and
the cases for each of them are considered. It is concluded that
neither position may be maintained without compromise, since
Aristotle ascribes to the soul features that belong exclusively to
a thing and exclusively to a property. Aristotle treats the soul as
a `property-thing', as a cross between a thing and a property. It
is argued that Aristotle comes by this idea of the soul because his
hylomorphism casts the soul as a property and his causal doctrine
presents it as a causal agent and thereby as a thing.
