On the soul (and minor natural phenomena)

Author's name: Aristotle

This work represents one of the pillars of Aristotelian philosophy, which laid the foundations for psychology and natural philosophy. It includes the book "On the Soul," in which the First Teacher (Aristotle) ​​explores the essence of life and its driving forces, transforming the soul from an abstract metaphysical concept into a "first perfection" that gives the living body its form and function. This research complements the collection of "Minor Physics," which examines the organic connection between the soul and the body through issues of "sensation and the sensible," "memory," "sleep and wakefulness," "dreams," "longevity and brevity," and "youth and old age." The book presents a comprehensive ontological and epistemological vision, accurately translated into Arabic from the original Greek texts, revealing Aristotle's genius in reconciling biology and philosophy. It constitutes an indispensable reference for understanding the Greek philosophical heritage and its manifestations in modern human thought, for understanding the beginnings of psychology and natural philosophy in Western thought, and for revealing the depth of Aristotle's project in linking philosophy and science.
