Description
This richly annotated, scrupulously accurate, and consistent translation of Aristotle's De Anima fits seamlessly with other volumes in the series. Sequentially numbered endnotes provide the information most needed at each juncture, while a detailed Index of Terms indicates places where focused discussion of key notions occurs. An illuminating general Introduction describes the book that lies ahead, explaining what sort of work it is and what sorts of evidence it relies on.

Okay, Aristotle basically came up with this whole "soul" deal, and it's another trophy on his wall, for sure. But better than that: He also came up with the whole five-part division of the senses into visual, aural, olfactory, tactile, and gustatory. In this book!

A nice review of the literature and then a scientific, but abstract, discussion about the things the soul might be -- parts vs. not, a cause of motion vs. not, a source of deliberation or not.

A short but dense text. This work, along with Plato's Republic, have greatly shaped how psychologists have frameworked their understanding of the mind for the past 2000+ years.

This was a solid Aristotelian text. I thought that it was quite interesting the way that Aristotle conceptualized the soul and used his owns powers of deduction to explain its occurrence and the meaning behind it. Overall, a satisfying read.
