It has been said before1 that the soul
has two parts, one rational and the other irrational. Let us now similarly divide the
rational part, and let it be assumed that there are two rational faculties, one whereby we
contemplate those things whose first principles are invariable, and one whereby we
contemplate those things which admit of variation: since, on the assumption that knowledge
is based on a likeness or affinity of some sort between subject and object, the parts of
the soul adapted to the cognition of objects that are of different kinds must themselves
differ in kind.
