In 'On The Soul 2.1-6', Aristotle gives a very different account of
the sould from Plato's by tying the soul to the body. The soul is
the life-manifesting capacities that we all have and that
distinguish living things, and explain their behaviour. He defines
sould and life by reference to the capacities for using food to
maintain structure and reproduce, for perceiving and desiring, and
for rational thought. Capacities have to be defined by reference to
the objects to which they are directed. The five senses, for
example, are defined by reference to their objects, which are
primarily forms like colour. And in perception we are said to
receive these forms without matter.;Philoponus understands this
reception not physiologically as the eye jelly's taking on colour
patches, but 'cognitively', like Brentano, who much later thought
that Aristotle was treating the forms as intentional objects.
Philoponus is the patron of non-physiological interpretations,
which are still a matter of controversy today.
