19. Must we consider that (in the soul), the indivisible and the

divisible are identical, as if they were mingled together? Or should

we consider the distinction between the indivisible and the divisible

from some other point of view? Should the first be considered as the

higher part of the soul, and the latter as the lower, just exactly as

we say that one part of the soul is rational, and the other part is

irrational? Such questions can be answered only by a close scrutiny of

the nature of the divisibility and indivisibility of the soul.
