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:

A1 Whether the essence of the soul is its power?

A2 Whether there is one power of the soul, or several?

A3 How the powers of the soul are distinguished from one another?

A4 Of the orders of the powers, one to another;

A5 Whether the powers of the soul are in it as in their subject?

A6 Whether the powers flow from the essence of the soul?

A7 Whether one power rises from another?

A8 Whether all the powers of the soul remain in the soul after death?
