Prompt:

Based on your reading and analysis of secondary literature, what do you make of Aristotle’s theory of soul, and particularly of the problem found in De Anima5? Your answer should make some appeal to the textual analysis of the De Anima as a whole, but also should take seriously his descriptions of sense-perception as compared to Plato’s description in the Theaetetus and Descartes’s analysis of intellection in Meditations I & II. What implications do these comparisons have for how we view the nature of the so-called “Mind-Body Problem” and how might they help (or hinder) our attempts to solve it?
