OF COURSE a philosopher would come to the conclusion that the world exists to be thought about. shut up ( )

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. ( )

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. ( )

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. ( )

Cognition is in our eyes a thing of beauty and worth, and this is true of one cognition more than another, either because it is exact or because it relates to more important and remarkable objects.
