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.

6 More Dead A True Story Ana lay in a hospital bed. Her throat had
been sawed open. Her face swollen beyond recognition and unable to
speak, her only method of communication was a pencil and pad. NYPD
Detective Raymond Berke, upon seeing Ana, realized that he would
have to wait until she was better able to communicate. As he
started to leave, she grabbed his arm and pulled him to her bed.
Using her pencil she scrawled '6 More Dead'. Go inside the patrol
cars of the NYPD, the Detective Squad rooms and interrogation
rooms, where mass murderers sit inches away from the detectives who
try to get them to admit to their heinous acts. Chronicling the
true life experiences of NYPD Detective Raymond Berke, '6 More
Dead' begins with his first days as a rookie cop on the mean
streets of Brooklyn, and follows him through his rise to Detective
in the Silk Stocking district of Manhattan. His cases involve heart
wrenching suicides, crazed and insane murderers killing their
families, and the white collar criminals of society's upper
echelon. Berke's cases take him as far away as London, England for
investigations involving possible ties to the royal family of Great
Britain. Berke's cases don't stop, culminating in his shocking and
terrifying investigation into one of the largest mass murders in
New York history, The College Point Massacre. If ever a book got
into the minds of both Criminals and Detectives, this is it
