- Aristotle’s view is that the primary activity of a living thing is its soul and the body is the matter that a living creature is made of
- He likened body and soul to that of a marble statue. The matter is the marble, the form is the statue. The soul therefore gives form to the matter, or the body
- His views cause confusion because he also suggested that it is possible that intellectual thought (the logos) could be separated from the soul and be eternal
