A survey is  provided of the contemporary interpretations of Aristotle's idea of  the soul, which are prominent in the Aristotelian scholarship within  the analytic tradition. These interpretations are divided into two  positions: `attributivism', which considers the soul to be a property;  and `substantialism', which considers it to be a thing. Taxonomies are  developed for attributivism and substantialism, and the cases for each  of them are considered. It is concluded that neither position may be  maintained without compromise, since Aristotle ascribes to the soul  features that belong exclusively to a thing and exclusively to a  property. Aristotle treats the soul as a `property-thing', as a cross  between a thing and a property. It is argued that Aristotle comes by  this idea of the soul because his hylomorphism casts the soul as a  property and his causal doctrine presents it as a causal agent and  thereby as a thing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792340331\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-0785-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 188\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481646067852,"sku":"9780792340331","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792340331.jpg?v=1772813530","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792340331","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
