The Acquired Intellect and the Hylic Soul
Question
Hi, I’d be happy if you could explain what philosophers mean by these terms. What is that hylic soul? Is it unique only to a human being, insofar as a human is distinguished by the rational soul? And after death, does that soul remain with the person?
And what is meant by the acquired intellect?
Thanks in advance
Answer
I have no idea. I’m not really interested in Greek philosophy.
Discussion on Answer
To the best of my understanding and knowledge, no.
Thanks for the response,
and regarding the soul’s survival after death, is there any proof either for or against?
And have a peaceful Sabbath
