Question 77 — The Powers of the Soul in General

We proceed to consider those things which belong to the powers of the soul; first, in general, second, in particular.

Under the first head there are eight points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the essence of the soul is its power?

• (2) Whether there is one power of the soul, or several?
• (3) How the powers of the soul are distinguished from one another?
• (4) Of the orders of the powers, one to another;
• (5) Whether the powers of the soul are in it as in their subject?
• (6) Whether the powers flow from the essence of the soul?
• (7) Whether one power rises from another?
• (8) Whether all the powers of the soul remain in the soul after death?
