'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is the nature of the soul? It is this question that Aristotle sought to answer in \u003ci\u003eDe Anima\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eOn the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e). 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. \u003ci\u003eOn the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e contains Aristotle's definition of the soul, and his explanations of nutrition, perception, cognition, and animal self-motion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe general theory in \u003ci\u003eDe Anima\u003c\/i\u003e is augmented in the shorter works of \u003ci\u003eParva Naturalia\u003c\/i\u003e, which deal with perception, memory and recollection, sleep and dreams, longevity, life-cycles, and psycho-physiology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016641528048,"sku":"9780199588213","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199588213_p0.jpg?v=1763670505","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199588213","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
