Full Idea
That the soul is not separable from the body - or that certain parts of it are not, if it naturally has parts - is quite clear.
Gist of Idea
The soul (or parts of it) is not separable from the body
Source
Aristotle (De Anima [c.329 BCE], 413a04)
A Reaction
This doesn't make him a physicalist. I've seen him described in modern terms as a functionalist, but that makes the mind abstract and the body concrete. Perhaps he is an 'Integrationist' (as Descartes might be in his 'pilot' passage).
