Abstract

In the first of his Disputed Questions on the Soul, St. Thomas criticizes the eclectic aristotelianism of the masters of Arts and Theology who considered the human soul to be a spiritual substance and a substantial form, and proposes his own notion of subsistent substantial form, which defines the essential dependence and existential independence of the soul with respect to the body
