GARCIA ALANDETE, Joaquín. The soul in the dialogues Eudemus and Protrepticus, and relationship with the treatise On the Soul. Folios [online]. 2013, n.38, pp.35-43. ISSN 0123-4870.

Despite the Aristotle's On the soul can be considered the first systematic treaty of a psychological doctrine, it was preceded by the dialogue Eudemus and the exhortation to philosophy Protrepticus, which have not received as much attention from the researchers of the aristotelian phylosophy. This paper describes the main ideas of these two works on the concept of the soul and its relations with the body and the human intellect,and its immortality. These ideas are contrasted with some issues of the platonic doctrine and the treatise On the soul, and contemporary interpretations are considered.

Palabras clave : Aristotle; Eudemus; Protrepticus; On the soul; soul.
