Aristotle (384 –322 BC) – He made assumptions out of
observation regarding human behavior. He
believed that all beings, humans included, have
souls, which animate them. Humans, however,

Thus, humans are not only, physical, but also
rational. He also theorized about learning,
memory, motivation, emotion, perception and
personality.

perfection and infinity)
are innate. He is also
notable for his
conception of the body
as a machine that can
be studied.
