Such Platonism typically occurs when Aquinas sets out to explain why and how it is that the human soul needs to function independently of the senses. The reason for such independence is that the mind can see God unhindered by any sensory input when God is seen face to face. Aquinas insists in a number of places that the human being \"is made up of body and soul as two things that constitute a third thing which is neither one of them, for (the human being) is neither soul nor body\". This is the Aristotelian viewpoint, although Thomas's description of soul and body as \"things\" should be noted.

However, strong tendencies in his own thought lead him to a difference of emphasis from many of the Fathers which make his presentation of the soul very distinctive. In Christian writers, the term \"soul\" normally refers to the soul of the individual human being, but the notion of the world-soul, so strong in the Timaeus , had not been dismissed-in fact, it is quite important to Eriugena, and in the twelfth century a vigorous debate arose as to whether it was to be identified with the Holy Spirit of Christian theology.

One of these concepts was the so-called perishability axiom, derived from the teachings of Plato and Aristotle, which stated that whatever comes into existence in time must also perish in time. This chapter investigates how Christian authors dealt with this axiom when they set out their views on created being and in particular how they applied it to the human soul, which according to Scripture had been infused into Adam on the sixth day of creation. It defines the parameters within which the discussion took place through analysis of selected passages by authors from the late fourth and early fifth centuries.
