    The soul and body have different definitions across religions and philosophies. Hinduism believes the soul reincarnates into new bodies, while Christians believe the soul faces judgment after death. Aristotle saw the soul as inseparable from the body that gives life. Socrates and Plato viewed the soul as immortal but separable from the body, which Socrates called a prison. St. Augustine agreed souls are eternal but believed one soul and body make a human, unlike Socrates and Plato who thought the soul could jump between bodies.

    Exercise 1.1.

    Instructions: In not more than 10 sentences, differentiate the body and


    soul? Cite three authors and in APA style, write the references after the essay.
    The soul and body have many definitions depending on which religion and
    beliefs. There are religions such as Hinduism that believes that after a body dies, its
    soul will reincarnate by finding another body to stay. But, the ‘born again’ Christians
    believe that after the body perishes in this world, the soul will not reincarnate but will
    face judgment based on the doings of the owner on earth when it was still alive.
    Philosophers such as Aristotle believed that the soul is not separable from the body said
    that “the actuality of a body that has life,” where life means the capability of self to
    sustain, grow and reproduce. A living individual as a combination of matter and form,
    the soul would be a natural–or according to Aristotle, it would be an organic body
    because it has organs that have specific functions. Unlike Aristotle, Socrates and Plato
    said the soul, although immortal, it cannot exist without the body, but it is separable. For
    this, Socrates called death the parting of the soul from the body, and Plato called the
    body as the soul’s prison cell. Philosophers presume that with our understanding, the
    body is any material object that possesses basic properties; size, mass, impenetrability.
    Just like Socrates and Plato, St. Augustine also believed that the souls are eternal but,
    he does not agree with them that the body is a prison of the soul that the body jumps to,
    from another body but instead, he said that one body and one soul makes up one
    human. According to Descartes “The word body is very equivocal. When we speak of a
    body in general, we mean a specific part of the material and set the amount in which the
    universe is composed but, when we speak of the body of a man or woman, we hear any
    matter which is united with the soul of man” (Passions of the Soul.)
