RELATION OF THE "WE" AND THE "SOUL."

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
Open passage
13. Is it "we" or the "soul" which makes these researches? It is we, by means of the soul. The cause of this is, not we who consider the soul because we possess her, but that the soul considers herself. This need not imply motion, as it is generally understood, but a motion entirely different from that of the bodies, and which is its own life.
