Elements of Theology: Knowledge and Body of the Soul
we discuss ET 195 and 196. 195 leads us to the question of the specific representational quality of the souls knowledge and how the truth of the representations is guaranteed by the root of all forms in nous and by the connection between Knowledge and life in the soul: because we occupy a median kind of life, we must also have an average knowledge. 196 is an opportunity to present the theory of the astral body, that each soul has a primary place (da) through which it perceives objects and that constitutes it's filiation to a given heavenly body, which is a god that presides over a "celestial academy" "outside the cave".
