De La Soul

If Aristotle finds Plato’s definition of the soul too dualistic and Democritus’ too materialistic, what does he hold to be true about the soul? Aristotle proffers that the right definition of the soul lay in the mind of “the [philosopher] who mentions both form and matter” (box 332). In Aristotle’s view, soul and body are intertwined, and cannot be separated from one another. He provides an analogy to show the link between form and matter, and the ways in which both Plato and Democritus fail to…

What is duality of man? Duality of Man represents how the personality of a person can have two sides, good or bad. How does duality of man shows itself in our society?
