| | Aristotle -- General Introduction [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
 | | From this definition it follows that there is a close connection between psychological states, and physiological processes. |
 | | At the same time, Aristotle regards the soul or mind not as the product of the physiological conditions of the body, but as the truth of the body -- the substance in which only the bodily conditions gain their real meaning. |
 | | The soul manifests its activity in certain "faculties" or "parts" which correspond with the stages of biological development, and are the faculties of nutrition (peculiar to plants), that of movement (peculiar to animals), and that of reason (peculiar to humans). |
