![]() ![]() Aristotle considered the brain to be only a cooling unit to lower the temperature of the hot blood from the heart. We still reflect this ancient notion when we call people kindhearted, openhearted, fainthearted, hardhearted, or heartless and when we speak of learning by heart. The heart is also where Aristotle, located mental capacities. However, the Bible mentions the heart hundreds of times and makes several references each to the liver, the stomach, and the bowels as the seats of passion, courage, and pity, respectively. Neither the Hebrew Bible nor the New Testament ever mentions the brain. The heart was preserved in its place within the body.
