Thesis 3>18

Latin

Ideo in anima apparet incompossibilitas contradictoriorum, quia est prima quantitas, ponens partem extra partem.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 20462

English

The incompatibility of contradictories shows itself in the soul for this reason: that the soul is the first kind of quantity, setting part outside of part.

'prima quantitas' names the soul as the first mode of extension (part-outside-part), unlike the intellect; sense checked.
