So for him it is not the individual soul that needs to be unified but (our idea of) the multiplicity of part-less souls. . | |

| May 3, 2020 at 3:48 | comment | added | Geremia | By "parts" do you really mean "powers of the soul"? | |
| May 3, 2020 at 3:30 | comment | added | Conifold | It can not, the soul has no parts to unite, it is "simple". Blackerby helpfully collected relevant passages at the end of his thesis, p.237ff:"The Philosopher says in De Anima II, the soul is the form of the body. He also says there that the form is neither matter nor a composite. Therefore, the soul is not a composite", In Sent. 1 d. | |
