On The Soul is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle in the 4th century BCE. The book is divided into three parts, each exploring different aspects of the human soul. In the first part, Aristotle discusses the concept of the soul and its relationship to the body. He argues that the soul is the form or essence of the body and that it is responsible for giving life to the body. He also explores the different types of souls, including vegetative, animal, and rational souls, and how they relate to different living beings.In the second part, Aristotle delves deeper into the concept of the rational soul, which he believes is unique to humans. He discusses the different faculties of the rational soul, including perception, memory, and intellect, and how they work together to create human consciousness.In the final part, Aristotle explores the concept of the immortality of the soul. He argues that the rational soul is immortal and that it continues to exist after the body has died. He also discusses the relationship between the soul and the divine, and how the soul can achieve a state of eternal happiness through contemplation and philosophical inquiry.Overall, On The Soul is a foundational work in the history of philosophy, exploring fundamental questions about the nature of the human soul and its relationship to the body and the divine.If we have actually sensation of everything of which touch can give us sensation (for all the qualities of the tangible qua tangible are perceived by us through touch); and if absence of a sense necessarily involves absence of a sense-organ; and if all objects that we perceive by immediate contact with them are perceptible by touch, which sense we actually possess, and all objects that we perceive through media, i.e. without immediate contact, are....This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
