Abstract

We must return to the transmitted reading, which is beyond objection. The persons referred to in want to establish that passivity, the experiencing of desire, grief, and the like, is a thing of the body and not of the soul, which, they maintain, is The climactic structure makes it plain enough that what is in dispute and has to be proved is that the soul is, and that what is assumed for the proof is that it is. It is, therefore, wrong to change the text so as to make those engaging in the proof try to argue from instead of the other way round.
