Note 152 — CONCERNING SOUL.
Thomas Taylor translation
Thus for instance the body of the world, or of any particular animal, is vital from its receiving the echo of soul; but as it does not at the same time, essentially possess life, (or else it would be soul) it is composed from life, and non-life. For it is nothing more than body, or non-life, united with the last image of soul, or a debile life.
