Psyche (psychology)

Psyche (Greek ψυχή breathe, blow) used in classic Greek as a synonym for the word soul. Since our culture and mind grew more sophisticated it became necessary to separate the two concepts. Today psyche is the object psychology is dealing with. It is one of the four parts that makes the sum total of the non-physical aspects of a human being; the others are consciousness, mind and soul. Whilst psyche only exists in the body and is connected to the body, soul refers to the part that is unfading.
