Pseudo-Aristotelian "De Spiritu" : A New Case Against Authenticity

This paper presents new evidence against Aristotle’s authorship of the treatise known as "De Spiritu". The paper presents terminological and doctrinal evidence. In the first section, we list eleven terms without a parallel in Aristotle’s works—either at all, in the works generally regarded as authentic, or in the sense in which the terms are used in Aristotle’s authentic works. In the second section, we list six doctrinal differences on points of anatomy, physiology and psychology. Most of these points have been overlooked in literature, including two recent studies which argue that "De Spiritu" is an authentic work of Aristotle.
