A survey isprovided of the contemporary interpretations of Aristotle‘s idea ofthe soul, which are prominent in the Aristotelian scholarship withinthe analytic tradition. These interpretations are divided into twopositions: `attributivism‘, which considers the soul to be a property;and `substantialism‘, which considers it to be a thing. Taxonomies aredeveloped for attributivism and substantialism, and the cases for eachof them are considered. It is concluded that neither position may bemaintained without compromise, since Aristotle ascribes to the soulfeatures that belong exclusively to a thing and exclusively to aproperty. Aristotle treats the soul as a `property-thing‘, as a crossbetween a thing and a property. It is argued that Aristotle comes bythis idea of the soul because his hylomorphism casts the soul as aproperty and his causal doctrine presents it as a causal agent andthereby as a thing. | Pindex | Book 1996 |
