Philoponus: On Aristotle On The Soul 2.1-6 (Ancient Commentators On Aristotle)

In 'On The Soul' 2.1-6, Aristotle gives a very different account of the soul from Plato's by tying the soul to the body. He defines soul and life by reference to the capacities for using food to maintain structure and reproduce, for perceiving and desiring. Philoponus gives a 'cognitive' view.
