Thaumus replied, O mo st ingenious Theuth, the parent or inventor of an art is not always the best judge of the utility or inutility of his own inventions to the users of them. And in this instance, you who are the father of letters, from a paternal love of your own children have been led to attribute to them a quality which they cannot have; for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners\rquote souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the sembl ance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality. \par \par AUTHOR:___________________________TEXT (title & page):___________________ \par \par COMMENTARY: \par \page Your NAME________________________________________ \par \par 2.

If, as we are forever repeating, beauty, and good, and the other ideas really exist, and if we refer all the objects of sensible perception to these ideas which were formerly ours, and which we fi nd to be ours still, and compare sensible objects with them, then, just as they exist, our souls must have existed before ever we were born . But if they do not exist, then our reasoning will have been thrown away. Is it so? If these ideas exist, does it not at once follow that our souls must have existed before we were born, and if they do not exist, then neither did our souls? \par \par AUTHOR:___________________________TEXT (title & page):___________________ \par \par COMMENTARY: \par \page Your NAME________________________________________ \par \par 4. TEXT: \par \par Then restricting these two terms to certain special significations, according to the custom of those who reform their terminology, I believe you to mean that Principle is that which intri nsically brings to pass the constitution of things, and which remains in what it has produced. Thus, for instance, matter and form remain in their composite; or again, the elements of which things have been composed, and into which they tend to resolve t hemselves agai n, are principles. You call Cause that which operates from without in the production of things, and which has its being outside of the things produced, as in the case with the efficient cause, and the end for which the thing produced is ordained. \par \par AUTHOR:___________________________TEXT (title & page):___________________ \par \par COMMENTARY: \par \page Your NAME________________________________________ \par \par 5. TEXT: \par \par No one has yet been found so firm of mind and purpose as resolutely to compel himself to sweep away all theories and common notions, and to apply the understanding, thus made fair and even, to a fresh examination of particulars. Th us it happens that human knowledge, as we have it, is a mere medley and ill-digested mass, made up of much credulity and much accident, and also of the childish notions which we at first imbibed. \par \par AUTHOR:___________________________TEXT (title & page):___________________ \par \par COMMENTARY: \par \page Your NAME________________________________________ \par \par 6. TEXT: \par \par Now, if thinking is akin to perceiving, it must be either being affected in some way by the object of thought or something else of this kind. It must then be unaffected, but capable of receiving the form, and potentially such as it, although not identical with it; and as that which is capable of perceiving is to the objects of perception, so must be the intellect similarly to its objects. \par \tab It must, then, since it thinks all things, be unmixed, as Anaxagoras says, in order that it may rule, that is in order that it may know; for the intrusion of anything foreign to it hinders and obstructs it; hence too, it must have no other nature than this, that it is potential. That part of the soul, then, called intellect (and I speak of as intellect that by which the soul thinks and supposes ) is actually none of existing things before it thinks. Hence, too, it is reasonable that it should not be mixed with the body; for in that case it would come to be of a certain kind, either cold or hot, or it would have an organ like the faculty to perception, but as things are it has none. Those who say, then, that the soul is a place of forms speak well, except that it is not the whole soul but that which can think, and it is not actually but potentially the forms. \par \par AUTHOR:___________________________TEXT (title & page):___________________ \par \par COMMENTARY: \par \page Your NAME________________________________________ \par \par 7. TEXT: \par \par If then, spirit, mind, life, is found in all things, and in various degrees fills all matter, it must certainly follow, that it is the true actuality, and the true form of all things. The soul of the world, then, is the formal, constitutive principle of the universe, and of that which is contained within it. I say that if life is found in all things, the soul must be the form of all things; that which through everything presides over matter, holds sway over composite things, effects the composition and consistence of their parts. And therefore such form is no less enduring than matter. This I understand to be One in all things, which, however, according to the diversity of the disposition of matter, and according to the power of the material principle, both active and passive, comes to produce diverse configurations , and to effect different faculties, sometimes showing the effects of life without sense, sometimes the effects of life and sensation without intellect, and sometimes it appears that all the faculties are suppressed or repressed either by weakness, or by other conditions of matter. While this form thus changes place and circumstance, it is impossible that it should be annulled; because the spiritual substance is not less rea l than the material. Then only external forms can change and even be annulled, because they are not things, but of things; they are not substances; they are accidents and circumstances. \par \par AUTHOR:___________________________TEXT (title & page):___________________ \par \par COMMENTARY: \par \page Your NAME________________________________________ \par \par 8.

TEXT: \par \par It is at any rate clear that these two produce movement, either desire or intellect, if we set down the imagination as a kind of thought; for many follow their imaginations against their knowledge, and in the other animals thought and reasoning do not exist, although imagination does. Both of these, therefore, can produce movement in respect of place, intellect and desire, but intellect which reasons for the sake of something and is practical; and it differs from the contemplative intellect in respect of the end. Every desire too is for the sake of something; for the object of desire is the starting-point for the practical intellect, and the final step is the starting point for action. \par \par AUTHOR:___________________________TEXT (title & page):___________________ \par \par COMMENTARY: \par \page Your NAME________________________________________ \par \par 10.
