This article compares the pre-Cartesian concept of soul with the concept of mind current in analytical philosophy. The dividing line between these two ways of thinking is Descartes’ philosophy. While in antiquity and medieval times the soul was thought to encompass vital activities, with the mind being treated as the highest part of the soul that is the intellectual part after Descartes a concept of mind became prevalent which combined, in itself, the sensory and reasoning aspects of knowledge. Hylemorphism offers a possible way in which contemporary discourse in analytical philosophy might be enriched (at least for those who are not fundamentally opposed to metaphysics) by a medieval elaboration of the concept of the soul in antiquity.

The article is concerned with Bonaventura’s conception of first matter in the context of immaterial substances. Bonaventura’s conception of matter is different to that of Aristotle or Thomas Aquinas, who rejected matter in immaterial substances. Bonaventura, in contrast to Thomas, accepts the Aristotelian terminology in a fairly loose way, interpreting matter as potential, or, more precisely, as the created. With this conception the assertion of matter in the context of immaterial beings is not so absurd as it may at first sight seem. The article analyses Bonaventura’s understanding of angels and man, and it compares him with Thomas Aquinas and his use of Aristotelian terminology.
