Thesis 22.12

Latin

Deus ubique est quia nullibi est, intellectus ubique est quia nullibi est, anima ubique est quia nullibi est; sed deus ubique et nullibi respectu omnium quae post ipsum; intellectus autem in deo quidem est, ubique autem et nullibi respectu eorum quae post ipsum. Anima in intellectu et deo, ubique autem et nullibi respectu corporis.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 15566

English

God is everywhere because he is nowhere; the intellect is everywhere because it is nowhere; the soul is everywhere because it is nowhere. But God is everywhere and nowhere with respect to everything that comes after him; the intellect, however, exists in God, and is everywhere and nowhere with respect to what comes after it. The soul exists in the intellect and in God, and is everywhere and nowhere with respect to the body.
