Reflecting on the comments of Avicenna and Aquinas loose doubt about opposition to them concerning how to (make contact) [communicate] between human soul and body. Two seemingly opposite theory on once side is Avicenna the belief that the human soul is required by in order to communicate with the body, and on the other hand is Aquinas the belief that the human soul without the need for intermediaries united with the body. Resolve the apparent contradiction between the two theories analytical approach requires as a result, it becomes clear that each of the two philosophers two position to consider when considering the relationship between human soul and body. First position is stay at which human soul is related to body as form, and second position is stage at which activity of the soul in the body begins. The resulting analysis is not only that the two theories are not contradictory but to each other, and if a disput occurs about the question of how to make the connection between human soul and body, due to their attitude to the issue of unity, As Avicenna to reject union calls the relation between human soul and body, kind of relationship administer, while Aqunas with the adoption of union, sees the relation. between human soul and body, Mind of union. However both philosophers know the human soul needs to communicate with the body. Also about activity of the soul in the body both philosophers believe that the human soul in order to carry out it's activities in the body mediation is needed, as Avicenna puts it, is Bokhari spirit, and Aquinas puts it, is corporeal (or vital) spirit.
