The ancient mind
In the ancient times, the mind was theorized as a thing in movement, which is intrinsically joined to the body. Probably the most influential text, not only for the transmission of this theory, but, in general, for the development of the psychology, was Aristotle's De Anima. There, Aristotle gives the foundation for what he calls "the science of the soul" at the same time as he offers a model for thinking about the mind. This model considers the mind as a compounded something. Its parts are powers, faculties that instead of being separated one from another, are joined as long as one is the possibility of the another. For example, the dot is the possibility for the line, a figure compounded of dots; in the same way, the line is the possibility for the square, a closed figure compounded by lines (and dots). Similarly, Aristotle says, the mind has the sensation, the imagination and the intellect, all powers that interact to each other as the point, the line and the square do.
Can you tell me how this sounds? What vibe does this paragraph give off?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this grammatically, but it feels a bit difficult to read with all the small, broken up clauses.

An even better word might be "entity" or "system"

This whole paragraph is very well written and comes off as being very sophisticated :-)
