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

In order to utilize the advantages derlving from division of work, the Permanent Committee on Construction of the Council of Mutual Economic Aid decided for cooperation between the centres of information dealing with construction in the countries belonging to the Council. Cooperation has started in two stages. Since January 1st, 1961, the centres are sending abstracts made from the literature of their own respective countries to each of the associated countries and, since January 1st, 1962, they are treating the literature of the capitalist countries in the same manner. To achieve this end, each of the socialist countries has undertaken the treatment of the literature dealing with construction in a number of capitalist countries. The Hungarian People's Republic has undertaken that of the Scandinavian countries. Cooperation is in progress, is being continuoualy developed and is very successful.
