[¶0] OF THOSE THINGS WHICH BELONG TO THE POWERS OF THE SOUL IN GENERAL (EIGHT ARTICLES)

[¶1] We proceed to consider those things which belong to the powers of the soul; first, in general, secondly, in particular. Under the first head there are eight points of inquiry:

[¶2] (1) Whether the essence of the soul is its power?

[¶3] (2) Whether there is one power of the soul, or several?

[¶4] (3) How the powers of the soul are distinguished from one another?

[¶5] (4) Of the orders of the powers, one to another;

[¶6] (5) Whether the powers of the soul are in it as in their subject?

[¶7] (6) Whether the powers flow from the essence of the soul?

[¶8] (7) Whether one power rises from another?

[¶9] (8) Whether all the powers of the soul remain in the soul after death?
