It is also a recurring feature in many [[Mysticism|mystical traditions]].<br /> <br /> Monopsychism is a doctrine of [[Sabians|Sabianism]], Jewish [[Kabbalah]], and [[Averroism]], and also forms a part of the [[Rastafari movement|Rastafarian]] belief system.<br /> <br /> ==Aquinas==<br /> [[Thomas Aquinas]] disagreed with this belief and devoted most of his writing to Averroism and criticized monopsychism. One of his works, a commentary on [[Aristotle]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[On the soul]]&#039;&#039;, is titled &#039;&#039;De unitate intellectus contra Averroistas&#039;&#039;.&lt;ref&gt;http://dhspriory.org/thomas/DeUnitateIntellectus.htm&lt;/ref&gt; In this commentary, Aquinas demonstrates how [[Averroes]] misinterpreted Aristotle&#039;s argument, claiming that the correct interpretation was that an individual&#039;s [[nous|intellect]] cannot be independent of his or her physical body.<br /> <br /> {{quote|&#039;&#039;(...) intellect, can be separated, not indeed from body, as the Commentator&#039;&#039; (Averroes) &#039;&#039;perversely interprets, but from other parts of the soul&#039;&#039; (...)|Aquinas}}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Advaita Vedanta]]<br /> *[[Collective unconscious]]<br /> *[[Neoplatonism]]<br /> *[[Open individualism]]<br /> *[[Panpsychism]]<br /> *[[Pantheism]]<br /> *&#039;&#039;[[Unus mundus]]&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist|30em}}<br /> <br /> {{Authority control}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Religious belief and doctrine]]<br /> [[Category:Theory of mind]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Buddhism-stub}}</div>
