Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
Open passage

Other questions arise: What is the nature of the world where the soul lives thus, either voluntarily or necessarily, or in any other way? Does the Demiurge159 act without meeting any obstacle, or is it with him as with our souls?
