Full Idea
If the soul is something distinct from the mixture, why then are the being for flesh and for the other parts of the animal destroyed at the same time?
Gist of Idea
If soul is separate from body, why does it die when the body dies?
Source
Aristotle (De Anima [c.329 BCE], 408a25)
A Reaction
An obvious response to this reasonable question is to say that we see the body die, but not the soul, so the soul doesn't die. The problem is then to find some evidence for the soul's continued existence.
