Title

UNITY OF SOUL TO AVICENNA AND THOMAS AQUINAS

Pages

  7-21

Abstract

 The question of plurality or unity of HUMAN SOUL is among the topics which basically originate from Plato's and Aristotle's works. Plato considers the subject from two approaches and finally accepts the plurality whereas Aristotle deems it unreasonable to reckon the soul to be plural and divisible and consequently admits the unity of the soul. Regarding these two theories (i.e. the unity of the HUMAN SOUL and the plurality of it), the philosophers have to either confirmed one theory and reject the other at the same time. Therefore the two Peripatetic Islamic and Christian philosophers, AVICENNA and THOMAS AQUINAS are inclines toward the “unity of soul “theory. The difference of these two philosophers is in that AVICENNA's requires clarifications due to some conflicting aspects in his theory. This conflict arises from the repeatedly emphasis on soul unity on one hand and in the meantime attribution of human activities to three other souls. To integrate these evidently clashing points it is possible to set forth two status namely “definition and realization” (essence and existence). Aquinas assesses the subject more rigorously and in more detail comparing to AVICENNA and while considering different views including Plato's, proves the dominance of Aristotle's theory over Plato's.
