Music has the power of producing a certain effect on the moral character of the soul, and if it has the power to do this, it is clear that the young must be directed to music and must be educated in it.

Greatness of Soul seems therefore to be as it were a crowning ornament of the virtues; it enhances their greatness, and it cannot exist without them. Hence it is hard to be truly great-souled, for greatness of soul is impossible without moral nobility.

Greatness, Soul, Ornaments

Aristotle (1934). “The Nicomachean ethics”

The soul is the form of the body

Soul, Body, Form

Aristotle (1993). “De Anima: Books II and III (with passages from Book I)”, p.157, Clarendon Press

A state of the soul is either (1) an emotion, (2) a capacity, or (3) a disposition; virtue therefore must be one of these three things.

Soul, Three, Emotion

Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.38, Wordsworth Editions

Justice is that virtue of the soul which is distributive according to desert.

Justice, Soul, Desert

Aristotle (1812). “Works”, p.626

What has soul in it differs from what has not, in that the former displays life. Now this word has more than one sense, and provided any one alone of these is found in a thing we say that thing is living. Living, that is, may mean thinking or perception or local movement and rest, or movement in the sense of nutrition, decay and growth. Hence we think of plants also as living, for they are observed to possess in themselves an originative power through which they increase or decrease in all spatial directions.

Mean, Thinking, Soul

Aristotle (2015). “The Aristotle Collection [50 Books]”, p.1083, Catholic Way Publishing

But nothing is yet clear on the subject of the intellect and the contemplative faculty. However, it seems to be another kind of soul, and this alone admits of being separated, as that which is eternal from that which is perishable, while it is clear from these remarks that the other parts of the soul are not separable, as some assert them to be, though it is obvious that they are conceptually distinct.

Soul, Kind, Faculty

To be always seeking after the useful does not become free and exalted souls.

Education, Soul, Doe

Aristotle (2016). “Politics”, p.266, Aristotle

The student of politics therefore as well as the psychologist must study the nature of the soul.

Soul, Students, Study

Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.22, Wordsworth Editions

Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked; for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number; for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.

Numbers, Soul, May

Aristotle (2016). “Physics”, p.123, Aristotle

Thinking is different from perceiving and is held to be in part imagination, in part judgment

Thinking, Imagination, Soul

Aristotle, Aeterna Press (2015). “On the Soul”, p.66, Aeterna Press

Adoration is made out of a solitary soul occupying two bodies.

Two, Soul, Body

The soul has two parts, one rational and the other irrational. Let us now similarly divide the rational part, and let it be assumed that there are two rational faculties, one whereby we contemplate those things whose first principles are invariable, and one whereby we contemplate those things which admit of variation.

Two, Soul, Principles

Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.145, Wordsworth Editions

There also appears to be another element in the soul, which, though irrational, yet in a manner participates in rational principle.

Soul, Principles, Elements

Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.23, Wordsworth Editions

Happiness is an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue

Soul, Virtue, Nicomachean Ethics

Aristotle (1869). “The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle”, p.30

[this element], the seat of the appetites and of desire in general, does in a sense participate in principle, as being amenable and obedient to it

Soul, Desire, Principles

Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.24, Wordsworth Editions

The word is a sign or symbol of the impressions or affections of the soul.

Soul, Affection, Impression

The soul of animals is characterized by two faculties, (a) the faculty of discrimination which is the work of thought and sense, and (b) the faculty of originating local movement.

Animal, Two, Soul

Aristotle (2015). “The Complete Aristotle”, p.1108, Booklassic

These two rational faculties may be designated the Scientific Faculty and the Calculative Faculty respectively; since calculation is the same as deliberation, and deliberation is never exercised about things that are invariable, so that the Calculative Faculty is a separate part of the rational half of the soul.

Two, Soul, Half

Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.146, Wordsworth Editions

We have divided the Virtues of the Soul into two groups, the Virtues of the Character and the Virtues of the Intellect.

Character, Two, Soul

Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.145, Wordsworth Editions

Actual knowledge is identical with its object: in the individual, potential knowledge is in time prior to actual knowledge, but in the universe as a whole it is not prior even in time. Mind is not at one time knowing and at another not. When mind is set free from its present conditions it appears as just what it is and nothing more: this alone is immortal and eternal (we do not, however, remember its former activity because, while mind in this sense is impassible, mind as passive is destructible), and without it nothing thinks.

Thinking, Knowing, Soul

Catholic Way Publishing, Aristotle, Plato (2015). “The Philosophy Collection [97 Books]”, p.1497, Catholic Way Publishing

The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life.

Animal, Understanding, Soul

Aristotle (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Aristotle (Illustrated)”, p.1001, Delphi Classics

Now the goodness that we have to consider is clearly human goodness, since the good or happiness which we set out to seek was human good and human happiness. But human goodness means in our view excellence of soul, not excellence of body.

Mean, Views, Soul

Aristotle (1996). “The Nicomachean Ethics”, p.22, Wordsworth Editions

The soul is characterized by these capacities; self-nutrition, sensation, thinking, and movement.

Thinking, Self, Soul
