In my class we talk a lot about what makes us human, more specifically what makes us different from animals. An example would be how both animals and humans can move freely without the need of another force, which seperates us both from plants that need the wind or another force to move them. But than what do we have that animals don't have? Now don't forget that we are animals, but with concious thought. We are able to think of questions and problem solve, we do have animal desires but we are the only species that has reason. Reason is a driving force for almost everything we do, thinking abbout what is the best way to get something done or how to solve a problem. Arostotle believe that every human body is just the shell for a soul, which defines us as a person and without the human body the soul would not be able to survive. But the soul is not a "thing", it is an enity all of it's self. It is invisible but it makes that we classify as ourselves as being human.
