“…Plato measured the soul to be the essence of a person which he claimed to be an incorporeal, eternal occupant of the being and upon death exists and is continually reborn to subsequent bodies (Lorenz, 2008;Woods, 1987). Aristotle defined the soul, as a naturally organized body and opposed Plato's idea of the immortality of the soul (Young, 2013;Frede, 1992;Nussbaum, and Rorty, 1992).…”

The soul is believed to be an immortal essence of living things in scores of philosophical and religious traditions but sparsely understood by science. The word 'soul' does not have a scientific definition but through this paper is hypothesized to be an indefinite, non-structured, massless energy made up of electromagnetic radiations that is confined in the cytoskeletal network of the biological cell. Electromagnetic radiations continually interact with the biological cell and propagate within the cell; by a pathway known as 'Cell-Soul Pathway'. This pathway is a coherent, imperceptible, uncontainable and recyclable support pathway, which uses this energy to promulgate consciousness in a biological cell. The cell-soul pathway augments with stress and ceases with death and results in, liberation of the energy as ultra-weak electromagnetic radiations that coalesce with the universe. The cell-soul pathway creates a strong correlation between science and consciousness, and with religion and spirituality.

Aristotle on the Soul as Harmony

A topic common to both Plato’s and Aristotle’s discussions of theories of the soul is the doctrine of the soul as a harmony of the parts of the body. Plato’s Phaedo as well as Aristotle’s De anima and Eudemus present this theory and argue against the identification of the soul as a harmony. This paper has two focuses, one philosophical and one historical. First, I will focus on the argumentation used by Aristotle in his dialogue Eudemus, which is often associated with Aristotle’s early attachment to Plato. On the basis of the argumentation against the harmonia theory, I will try to show that the Eudemus is not a dialogue that depicts Aristotle’s Platonic phase. Instead, by comparing the arguments of the Eudemus with both Plato and Aristotle’s mature thought, I will argue that the argumentation of the Eudemus seems to be an indirect attack on Plato’s view on the Forms and on the nature of the soul, and that it seems to be consistent with Aristotle’s mature work On the Soul. Second, given that Aristotle discusses this topic twice, I will try, also on the basis of conclusions about the Eudemus and on later reception of Aristotle’s arguments, to show why this is the case.

El significado de "privación indefinida" (stéresis aóristos) en los fragmentos del diálogo del Eudemo

En los fragmentos del diálogo Eudemo aparece el hápax "privación indefinida" (stéresis aóristos). El significado de esta extraña construcción ha sido muy discutido por la crítica contemporánea. Dependiendo de su interpretación cada crítico ha ofrecido una teoría diferente sobre la evolución del pensamiento del Estagirita y la datación de sus obras. En este artículo presentamos el estado actual de la cuestión y proponemos una interpretación integradora de las propuestas anteriores, pero prescindiendo de aquellos elementos sobrevenidos o incluso insostenibles según la crítica actual.
