1. The subject announced in the preceding book, II. 3.16; another proof of the chronological order. This is a very obscure book, depending on IV. 3 and 4: and VI. 7; on the theory of the three divine hypostases, on his psychology, the soul’s relation to, and separation from the body, and metempsychosis. His doctrines of “self” and of the emotions are strikingly modern. ↩
