Description

With regard to sleep and waking, we must consider what they are: whether they are peculiar to soul or to body, or common to both; and if common, to what part of soul or body they appertain: further, from what cause it arises that they are attributes of animals, and whether all animals share in them both, or some partake of the one only, others of the other only, or some partake of neither and some of both.

Author

Aristotle was an influential philosopher and polymath who lived in Ancient Greece. He was a student of Plato and is widely regarded as one of the most important thinkers in history, pioneering the fields of aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics, politics, and science. His works were instrumental in the development of Western thought and have been a major source of inspiration throughout the ages.
