The 'Vehicle of Soul' and the Debate over the Origin of this Concept

  • Abraham P. Bos
From the journal Philologus

Abstract

The modern debate over the hellenistic doctrine of the fine-material soul-vehicle, including contributions by R. C. Kissling (1922), E. R. Dodds (1933), and J. Halfwassen (1995), has seen an increasingly earlier date of origin being attributed to this doctrine. But the author who introduced the theory remains an unknown quantity. In this article I will argue that the author of this doctrine can be no other than Aristotle.
