Many have followed him in this enterprise, but several of them tinted his psychology with ideas from other philosophers and schools, mainly Plato and Neoplatonism. Saint Thomas Aquinas stands among those who tried to avoid this. In this article we will show that not only he did not consider platonic or Neoplatonic ideas in his theory about the soul and its immortality but remained in the peripatetic realm and produced a rational, Revelation-free philosophy to argue for it based on certain passages and ideas of the De Anima. Also, we will show that Aristotle considers both a strong form of anthropologic hylomorphism and a soft one, being the latter the one used by Aquinas to structure his theory on the immortality of the soul. Aristóteles fue el primer filósofo occidental en emprender la tarea de producir una teoría acerca del alma individual que fuera racional y basada en evidencia científica. Muchos lo han seguido en esta empresa, aunque muchos de ellos tiñeron su psicología con ideas de otros filósofos y otras escuelas, principalmente con Platón y el neoplatonismo. Tomás de Aquino se encuentra entre aquellos que intentaron evitar esto. En este artículo mostraremos que no solo no consideró ideas platónicas o neoplatónicas en su teoría acerca de la inmortalidad del alma, sino que se mantuvo dentro de los límites del pensamiento peripatético y produjo una filosofía racional y alejada de la revelación para sostenerla en base a ciertos pasajes e ideas del De Anima. Además, mostraremos que Aristóteles consideró en su psicología un hilemorfismo fuerte y uno suave, siendo este último el utilizado por Tomás de Aquino para estructurar su teoría de la inmortalidad del alma.

description |
Aristotle was the first Western Philosopher to undertake the task of producing a rational, scientific-based theory on the human individual soul. Many have followed him in this enterprise, but several of them tinted his psychology with ideas from other philosophers and schools, mainly Plato and Neoplatonism. Saint Thomas Aquinas stands among those who tried to avoid this. In this article we will show that not only he did not consider platonic or Neoplatonic ideas in his theory about the soul and its immortality but remained in the peripatetic realm and produced a rational, Revelation-free philosophy to argue for it based on certain passages and ideas of the De Anima. Also, we will show that Aristotle considers both a strong form of anthropologic hylomorphism and a soft one, being the latter the one used by Aquinas to structure his theory on the immortality of the soul. |
