I have been trying to correlate the Greek view with the scholastics. It gets a little confusing. Anyone care to contribute?
Anima Soul Psyche
Mens faculty of knowing Gnosis
Memoria remembering anamnesis
Ratio judging dianoetikón
Sensus perceiving aisthetikón
Voluntas Willing
Caritas loving eros, agape, and philia
Intellectus understanding Nous?
Plato admits three parts, forms, or powers of the soul,
the intellect (noûs),
the nobler affections (thumós),
and the appetites or passions (epithumetikón).
For Aristotle, the soul is one, but endowed with five groups of faculties (dunámeis):
the "vegetative" faculty (threptikón), concerned with the maintenance and development of organic life;
the appetite (oretikón), or the tendency to any good;
the faculty of sense perception (aisthetikón);
the "locomotive" faculty (kinetikón), which presides over the various bodily movements;
the reason (dianoetikón).
