Thesis 23.9

Latin

Cum dicit Plato in mundi medio positam animam, de inparticipata anima debet intelligi, quam ideo in medio dicit positam, quia aequaliter omnibus adest, ab omni respectu et particulari habitudine liberata.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 15761

English

Plato's statement that the soul is set in the midst of the world must be taken of the unparticipated soul. He says it is set in the midst because it is present to all things alike, released from every regard and every particular relation.
