Aristotle‚ for example‚ spoke of the body and soul being a harmony. For Aristotle‚ the soul is form: it is a non-physical aspect of humans‚ which allows the body to achieve its potential‚ and without the body‚ the soul would be of no use as it would be unrecognisable. It is possible to base a theory of life after death on a monistic position
