E. RELATIONS BETWEEN SOUL AND BODY.
- if functions are not localized the soul will not seem entirely within us.
- space is corporeal; the body is within the soul.
- nor is the body a vase, for proximate transmission of the soul.
- many metaphysical objections to the conception of soul as localized.
- nor is the soul in the body as a quality in a substrate.
- nor is the soul in the body as a part in the whole.
- nor is the soul in the body as a whole in a part.
- nor will the soul be in the body as form in matter.
- the soul is said to be in the body because the body alone is visible.
- this leaves the question of the manner of the soul’s presence.
- the soul in a body as a pilot in a ship.
- the soul present in the body as light in air.
- while the soul-power is everywhere, the principle of action is localized in the special organ.
- reason is in the head, but not in the brain, which is the seat of the intermediary, the power of sensation.
- growth is localized in the liver, anger in the heart.
