5266 | It would seem that the thinking part is the individual self [Aristotle] |
Full Idea: It would seem that the thinking part is, or most nearly is, the individual self. | |
From: Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics [c.334 BCE], 1166a25) | |
A reaction: It seems that where Socrates identifies the self with the whole of the psuché (and hence is interested in its immortality, in 'Phaedo'), Aristotle considers the self to be merely the thinking and rational part of the psuché. |
