His work in this field was mostly concerned with analysis
and discussions of change.
-
In his opinion, ever change requires the following:
-
a form as a resultant of the change;
-
the earlier absence of this form; and
-
the object that was there in the beginning, but now is characterized
by the new form.
-
The form of an object, which Aristotle termed 'souls' for
living things, helps to account for its actions. These 'souls' are one
of three types:
-
vegetative (plants),
-
sensitive (animals), or
-
rational (human beings).
-
He did not see the body and souls as two different parts
of the person, but the soul as a feature of the body.
