Human Soul

Two parts of the human soul

Treatise on the Love of God, 1:11. Each human soul, Theotimus, is unique; it is also indivisible. However, each human soul has several operational levels: living, sensitive, rational. From these various stages flow its functions, its tendencies – the roots of aversion or attraction.

The composition of the soul’s two parts

Treatise on the Love of God, 1:12. In the first, our reasoning is based on sense data; in the second, it is based on human wisdom; in the third, it is based on data supplied by the truths of faith. Lastly, in addition to all that, it has an apex, the highest point in the spiritual faculty of reason.
