On The Soul is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. It is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of the soul, which Aristotle defines as the animating principle of all living things. The book is divided into three main sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the soul. In the first section, Aristotle discusses the concept of the soul as the principle of life, explaining how it is responsible for the growth, nutrition, and reproduction of living things. He also explores the different types of souls found in different types of living things, including plants, animals, and humans. The second section of the book is devoted to the concept of perception and sensation. Aristotle discusses how the soul is responsible for our ability to perceive the world around us, and how different senses work together to create a unified perception of reality. He also explores the role of imagination and memory in the process of perception. The final section of the book deals with the concept of intellect and the human soul. Aristotle argues that humans possess a unique type of soul that is capable of rational thought and contemplation. He explores the relationship between the intellect and the other faculties of the soul, and discusses the nature of human consciousness and self-awareness. Throughout the book, Aristotle draws on his extensive knowledge of biology, psychology, and metaphysics to provide a detailed and nuanced account of the nature of the soul. His ideas have had a profound influence on Western philosophy and continue to be studied and debated to this day.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.
