FUNCTIONS OF THE DISCURSIVE REASON OF THE SOUL.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
Besides the above, the soul possesses the discursive reason, which judges of sense-representations, combining and dividing them. Under the form of images, she also considers the conceptions received from intelligence, and operates on these images as on images furnished by sensation. Finally, she still is the power of understanding, since she distinguishes the new images from the old, and harmonizes them by comparing them; whence, indeed, our reminiscences are derived.
