Sielusta/Pieniä Tutkielmia by Aristotle
A systematic inquiry into the nature and powers of the soul, presented as the form or principle of living bodies rather than a separate material substance; it examines perception, sensation, imagination, intellect, nutrition, reproduction, growth, movement, sleep, dreams and memory, and distinguishes nutritive, perceptive and rational faculties. The work combines empirical observations of animals and plants with conceptual analysis to argue that mental functions arise from bodily organization while treating the intellect as a special case whose immortality and separability are debated. Overall it offers a foundational account of psychology and biology that ties mental life to the organism’s structure and activities.
