Publisher's summary

A few years after the first edition of "On the Soul"—one of the most important works of the great philosopher Aristotle—and the successive reissues brought by the excellent acceptance and demand of its numerous readers, ZITROS Publications with great satisfaction and pleasure proceeds to a completely renewed and complete in every respect edition of the work.

The entirely new, extensive and fully documented Introduction that precedes the text and the translation and the enrichment with many more notes and comments—philosophical, hermeneutical, factual, philological—upgrade and complete the volume in every respect, so that the general and special audience can now even more easily approach the thought of the Stoegirite philosopher, delve into the difficult philosophical concepts and the proposed interpretations, refer to the notes and comments that follow the text, facilitate their understanding, enrich their knowledge and develop their own thinking and reflection.

With Aristotle's On the Psyche, Psychology becomes for the first time an independent science and the psychic functions are analysed, largely from a physical and biological point of view—as the principle of all that has movement and life—with the aim of exploring its essence and what happens in it, and in the belief that such knowledge contributes most to the understanding of truth. This extremely difficult subject, which has not ceased and will continue to occupy philosophers and scientists to this day, is analysed in a series of problems—such as: what is the soul, what is the most appropriate method of investigating it, what is its relation to the body, what are its properties and manifestations, whether it is unified or has parts, whether it exists independently of the body, how the five senses and the common speech function, the question of truth and falsehood, how the mind constitutes general concepts.
