Talk:Trichotomy (philosophy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page seems to be short enough to be included on the disambiguation page. Perhaps someone should explain where this belief came from, who would believe it today, and the difference between a soul and spirit. --Can Not 13:34, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

surely it should be body, *mind* and spirit???? baby_ifritah 17:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

There are several different trichotomies. I prefer Mind, Body, and Heart, but the one listed is the classical Gnostic / Greek trichotomy. The Catholic Encyclopedia has a thoroughly researched historical perspective on the component parts of man, and not just from a Christian perspective; it accounts for Hindu, Greek, Gnostic, and other views of the composition of man. --75.173.4.172 (talk) 05:56, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
