On the Soul: Aristotle by Aristotle

informative

4.0

I have read several of Aristotle's books, and this turned out to be different than I expected. I thought it would focus on religious beliefs about the soul, but in reality, it focused on the senses and what drives living beings to do things. It was more scientific than religious.

Aristotle's thought processes are extraordinary, and I like how he reviews what his peers and predecessors believed about these things. Of course, he has some assumptions we know are incorrect, but he still uses sound logic to formulate theories on how things work.

This book is essential for those seeking to understand Western thought's evolution.
