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:

A[1] Whether the essence of the soul is its power?

A[2] Whether there is one power of the soul, or several?

A[3] How the powers of the soul are distinguished from one another?

A[4] Of the orders of the powers, one to another;

A[5] Whether the powers of the soul are in it as in their subject?

A[6] Whether the powers flow from the essence of the soul?

A[7] Whether one power rises from another?

A[8] Whether all the powers of the soul remain in the soul after death?
