Plato’s philosophy about embodied spirit

Humans are seen in the metaphysical dichotomy
Dichotomy = there is an enherent contradiction between the body and the soul
The human body is = mutable, destructible, material
Soul = immaterial, immutable, indestructible

In the context of the nature of the human person:

- Body existence
- Souls existence
Whereas, dependent is the soul and independent is the body.
The soul existed prior to the body
“ the gods made the soul prior to the body and more venerable in birth and excellence to the body’s
mistress and gover nor”
The contention above made plato conclude that the human person is just a soul using a body
Therefore human body is divided in to: rational soul is located at brain , spiritual soul , apetitive soul
Apetitive soul derives the human person to experience: thirst, hunger and other physical wants
Spiritual soul drives the human person to experience: abomination, anger and other emotional feelings
Rational soul drives the human person to experience: think, reflect and analyze, comprehend
