.untimate form = form of good.
mind = higher form then body once finished in the wolrd of forms the body is reborn into anouther body and cyclye contioius.
analogy = chariate.
soul = metaphysical so does not decay or change.
souls are non material = cannot be destroyed

MONISM aristotle
ARISTOTLE - every living thing has a soul.soul = psych only living things have. body and soul cannot live without each other. body dies = soul dies. analogy of the axe = body is an axe soul is ability to chop. scientific view. soul anaimates the body into a living thing. soul = principle of life distingish from living and dead. soul is expressed through the body cannot be sepreate
The body and soul cannot be separated and gave the example of a wax tablet to show that the soul is inseparable from the person - “It is as meaningless as to ask whether the wax and the shape given to it by the stamp are one”
Aristotle sees the soul as the formal cause of the body – it is our characteristics and attributes and not an extra addition
The soul is not distinct or self-contained, but works together with the body. Its nature depends on the type of living being that it is and souls can be arranged in hierarchy e.g. the soul of a plant has powers of nutrition, growth and reproduction, whereas the human soul also has the power of reason. The soul can be said to be the ‘raison d’etre’
