		In Aristotle¡¯s On the Soul he considers and refutes two versions of the harmonia theory of the soul¡¯s relation to the body. According to the harmonia theory, the soul is to the body what the tuning of a musical instrument is to its material parts. Though he believes himself to have entirely dismissed the view, he has not. I argue that Aristotle¡¯s hylomorphic account is, in fact, an instance of the harmonia theory.
