Soul is defined by Aristotle as the perfectexpression or realization of a natural body.

From this definition it follows that there is a closeconnection between psychological states, and

physiological processes. Body and soul are unified in the same way that waxand an impression stamped on it are unified.

The moral ideal in politicaladministration is only a differentaspect of that which also applies toindividual happiness.
