Greek Times Ancient


Discussion about soul of course Already There is since time immemorial that is
specifically in ancient Greece ancient , discussion soul at this time Lots influence
philosophers next , incl philosopher islamic . In this age Not yet known psychology
as standing knowledge themselves , but living philosophers several hundred years
before AD This Already start think about about is soul that ? And philosophers
That can shared into two groups . The first is view monoism , which still is
consider soul That identified with the body (Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes,
Hippocrates ). Hippocrates (400-375 BC) for example , had theory that character
man influenced by the dominant fluid in body human . Likewise according _ View
dualism , namely that which distinguishes between body and soul started by
Socrates (469-399 BC) when through technique interview (Socrates calls it
technique meutics ), he find that the poor and the homeless have Lots knowledge
and answers to various the problems that exist in the world. He concluded that
behind _ body naturally There is something that can produce knowledge and
thoughts that's what it's called soul . Plato (427-347 BC), this student of Socrates
Then theorize that soul That is the original idea from the world of ideas and new
infiltrate to in body when man Still shaped fetus in content . View it fits perfectly
with view Islam about spirit that has written in the Qur'an and Al Hadith An-
Nabawiyah . Then theory That Developed by Plato with bring up theory his
trichotomy , that is that soul has 3 functions :

1.Think ( logisticon )
2. Willing ( thumetiicon )
3. Willing ( abdomeen )
Figure following from this era was a student of Plato named Aristotle (384-322
BC). adhere understand dualism , he opinion , soul separated from the body. But
different from understanding plato nativism ( soul obtained since born ), Aristotle
who understood empiricism This argue soul No eternal , because soul formed
through experience and soul it (form) will is lost If body human (matter) already
dead , because in essence every object consists of the matter that contains the form
and that form will is lost together loss of matter.
On the side another , Aristotle argued something theory that is also very close with
view of philosophers Islam centuries then , ie that creature life divided in three
type namely :
1. Anima Vegetativa that drinks and grows breed but no sensate ( plants ) that have
ability for eat , drink and grow breed .
2.Anima sensitive, creatures sensory ( animal ) this Anima own ability like anima
vegetativa as well ie ability For move place , have lust , got observing ,
remembering and feeling and
3. Anima intellect , creature think and will ( human )

In terms of Ibn Sina (980-1037) and Al Gazali (1058-1111):


1. The vegetable soul (an- nafs an- Nawayah ).
2. Animal soul (an- nafs al- hayawaniyah ) and
3. Insanity soul (an- nafs al- insaniyah )
Difference Between Soul And Spirit

depending on life bodily and engendered deed bodily (organic behavior) ie actions
caused by the learning process , for example : instinct , reflex , lust and so on .
·Medium soul are : Power life spiritual nature abstract being mover and controller
for all deeds personal (personal behavior) of animal level tall until human . Deeds
personal is deed as the results of the learning process made possible by
circumstances physical , spiritual and social .
