8006	When Aristotle speaks of soul he means something like personality [MacIntyre]
	Full Idea: When Aristotle speaks of the soul we could very often retain his meaning by speaking of personality.
	From: Alasdair MacIntyre (A Short History of Ethics [1967], Ch. 7)
	A reaction: MacIntyre contrasts this strongly with Plato's dualist view. Famously Aristotle thinks the soul is the 'form' of the body, but this implies that he also includes the higher-level functions of the body. Soul is character?
