Plato – Aristotle – Self – Soul.Abstract
Despite the palpable differences in Platonic and Aristotelian anthropologies, both philosophers affirm the identity of the self with noûs. The purpose of this paper is to show the Platonic influence on the Aristotelian work on the notion of self, both in his Academic period and in his later thought. Broadly speaking, the master developed two different conceptions of the self: in the Alcibiades major he clearly identifies the self with the intellect, while in the Republic he identifies it with each part of the soul and with the totality of the soul governed by a specific part. The disciple partially reproduces the first Platonic conception of the "self" in the Protrepticus, while he adopts the central lines of the second in Nicomachean Ethics IX. 8-9. Although the Stagirite distances himself from his master in some nuances, he follows the Platonic ethical-anthropological ideal in maintaining that the realization of the contemplative life presupposes that the intellect governs human behavior.
