Abstract
On traditional Thomistic hylomorphism, the separated soul cannot preserve what it is like to be particular human person. I present a phenomenological revision of Thomistic hylomorphism on which the separated soul can retain what it is like to be a particular human person, and which is truer to our embodied experience than traditional hylomorphism. First, I present Aquinas’s account of what it is like to be an embodied person and a separated soul, and then I present my revision. My revision highlights the central importance of holistic aesthetic, spiritually perceptive, and liturgical experiences to human flourishing and beatitude.
