Soul's Tools
This paper explores the various ways Aristotle refers to and employs “heat and cold” in his embryology. In my view, scholars are too quick to assume that references to heat and cold are references to matter or an animal’s material nature. More commonly, I argue, Aristotle refers to heat and cold as the “tools” of soul. As I understand it, Aristotle is thinking of heat and cold in many contexts as auxiliary causes by which soul activities (primarily “concoction”) are carried out. This, as I argue, is what it means to call them “tools” of soul. An upshot of this investigation is the fuller picture of Aristotle’s conception of efficient causation it provides in general, and the better understanding of the efficient causal operation of an organism’s nature or soul it provides in particular
Are Smart Phones Inhibiting Smartness? Smart Phone Presence, Mobile Phone Anxiety, and Cognitive Performance
In recent years, increased smart phone ownership and usage has resulted in nomophobia, or anxiety experienced when away from a smart phone.Ă‚Â Compulsive smart phone usage has been shown to interfere with task productivity. Therefore, in the current study we predicted that individuals who have their smart phone removed during a cognitive task will experience more anxiety and worsened performance than those who kept their phones during the task.Ă‚Â Undergraduates completed a word search that acted as the cognitive task, and completed measures of compulsive usage and anxiety. Results did not support our hypothesis. However, implications discussed show that future studies could be beneficial to understanding how smart phones are changing our cognitive performance, especially in regards to academics.Ă‚Â Ă‚
