Aristotle would probably agree with the first part of your question. Basically Aristotle would probably say that a persons ability to think or reason is not found within the body. In this respect it represents some type of dualist theory. Some might be prepared to take this a step further and claim that Aristotle is promoting the intellect as something that is contained within the idea of an unmoved mover.
