Anyone else like me? I've always connected these things with the mind, not the soul. Hmmmm.

Darn I wish this was a Catholic Caucus thread.

As Dawg jumps in WAY over his head.

The rational soul, the ‘form’ of the human, is rational because it has these aspects. These are aspects of rationality.

I think the ‘intellect’ might deal with reason and memory, but it’s not clear how will is related to intellect, so it might be a function of soul that is not specifically intellecitve.

We need a really good Thomist here.

Dinesh D’Souza has some interesting things to say about this in “Life After Death: The Evidence.”

1. Ok, I thought this was going to be really simple, and then people posted a lot of long stuff I’m too tired to process. I thought

“will” = ability to take an intended action or deliberately refrain from one. As in, “he willed himself to get up despite his fatigue.”

“intellect” = ability to use facts/memories and problem solve or create.

“memory” = recalling events and facts

Makes sense that the soul has these powers since the soul is getting judged by Christ at Judgment Day and is thus held responsible for conduct.

2. I think we have terms like “heart and soul” in our language that make soul sound more emotional or touchy feely than was originally intended. (That being said, if the subject is the power of ‘soul food’ a strong emotional reaction is just fine, as far as I’m concerned.)

I meant to 23 as a reply to the root posting.
