THE LIVING ORGANISM.

5. The "living organism" must mean either the thus organized body,

or the common mixture of soul and body, or some third thing which

proceeds from the two first. In either of these three cases the soul

will have to be considered impassible, while the power of experiencing

passions will inhere in something else; or the soul will have to share

the body's passions, in which case the soul will have to experience

passions either identical or analogous to those of the body, so that to

a desire of the animal there will correspond an act or a passion of the

concupiscible appetite.
