MEMORY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE FACULTY OF SENSATION.

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
Open passage
29. Can memory be referred to sensibility? Is the faculty that feels also the one that remembers? But if the image of the soul (the irrational soul) possess the memory, as we said above,147 there would be in us two faculties that will feel. Further, if sensibility be capable of grasping notions, it will also have to perceive the conceptions of discursive reason, or it will be another faculty that will perceive both.
