BC. e.) - Greek philosopher, founder of the psychological system, integrated achievements of ancient thought for centuries and has become central to the various directions in the understanding of mental activity. The principles and main concepts of the system outlined in his treatise 'On the soul', its important provisions are contained in other writings A. ( 'Ethics', 'Rhetoric', 'Metaphysics', 'History of Animals'). In contrast to notions of the soul as a special early. taught that the soul of the living body can not be separated, because it is its form, manner of its organization. This approach has given psychology a. biological orientation. As a principle of life and development, the soul can not be divided into parts, but is manifested in the form of several functions (abilities) or activities that make up a special genetic series. Vegetative ( 'feeding') function of the soul is specific to plants, feeling and driving functions - for animals, reasonable - for a person. Higher functions arise through the lower, so the functions of the soul are the levels of its evolution. A. belongs to the division of the senses into five categories. In addition to transmitting certain sensible qualities of things organs (vision, hearing, etc.), he singled out the 'general chuvstvilische' to-Roe allows to perceive common to many objects properties (size, number).

A. belongs to distinguish two types of intelligence: a theoretical and practical. The latter is a special type of thinking, since it serves as an effective regulation of the real action, not just the acquisition of knowledge. A. applied genetic and objective methods for the study of specific mental and ethical traits of behavior. Eden A. stimulated the development of psychological thought subsequent periods.
