[194] Plato, Laws, iv., p. 716; Cary, 8. [195] Arist. Met. xii. 7. [196] See iii. 8.9. [197] In his Cratylos, p. 419; Cary, 76. [198] See iii. 9, end. [199] As said Plato in the Timaeus, p. 42; Cary, 18; see Numenius, 10, 32. [200] In this book Plotinos uses synonymously the "Heaven," the "World," the "Universal Organism or Animal," the "All" (or universe), and the "Whole" (or Totality). This book as it were completes the former one on the Ideas and the Divinity, thus studying the three principles (Soul, Intelligence and Good) cosmologically. We thus have here another proof of the chronological order. In it Plotinos defends Plato's doctrine against Aristotle's objection in de Anima i. 3. [201] As thought Heraclitus, Diog. Laert. ix. 8; Plato, Timaeus, p. 31; Cary, 11; Arist. Heaven, 1, 8, 9. [202] Such as Heraclitus. [203] In the Cratylus, p. 402; Cary, 41. [204] Rep. vi., p. 498; Cary, 11. [205] See Apuleius, de Mundo, p. 708; Ravaisson, E.M.A. ii. 150; Plato, Epinomis, c. 5. [206] Which would render it unfit for fusion with the Soul, Arist., Meteorology, i. 4; Plato, Tim., p. 58; Cary, 33. [207] See ii. 9.3; iii. 2.1; iv. 3.9. [208] Phaedo, p. 109; Cary, 134; that is, the universal Soul is here distinguished into the celestial Soul, and the inferior Soul, which is nature, the generative power. [209] The inferior soul, or nature. [210] See ii. 3.9-15. [211] See i. 1.7-10. [212] As is the vegetative soul, which makes only the animal part of us; see i. 1.7-10. [213] In his Timaeus, p. 31; Cary, 11. [214] Timaeus, p. 56; Cary, 30. [215] See i. 8.9. [216] Plato, Epinomis, p. 984; Cary, 8. [217] In the Timaeus, p. 31, 51; Cary 11, 24, 25. [218] See ii. 7. [219] Who in his Timaeus says, p. 39; Cary, 14. [220] See ii. 2. [221] As thought Heraclitus and the Stoics, who thought that the stars fed themselves from the exhalations of the earth and the waters; see Seneca, Nat. Quest. vi. 16. [222] See ii. 1.5. [223] See iii. 7; Plotinos may have already sketched the outline of this book (number 45), and amplified it only later. [224] See ii. 9.6, or 33; another proof of the chronological order. [225] In his Timaeus, p. 69; Cary, 44. [226] As the Stoics think, Plutarch, Plac. Phil. iv. 11. [227] As Aristotle would say, de Anima, iii. 3. [228] Aristotle, de Sensu, 6. [229] v. 3.
