E. RELATIONS BETWEEN SOUL AND BODY.

IF FUNCTIONS ARE NOT LOCALIZED THE SOUL WILL NOT SEEM ENTIRELY WITHIN

US.

20. Are the above-mentioned and other parts of the soul localized

in the body, or are some localized, and others not? This must be

considered, because if none of the parts of the soul are localized, and

if we assert that they are nowhere either in or out of the body, the

latter will remain inanimate, and we will not be able to explain the

manner of the operations occurring by help of the organs. If, on the

other hand, we assign a location in the body to certain parts of the

soul, without localizing other parts, the unlocalized parts will seem

not to be within us, and consequently not the whole of our soul will

seem to be in the body.
