V. Whether the
Soul is Simple or Compound.
We prove, then, that the soul is simple, best of all, by
those arguments by which its incorporeality has been
demonstrated. For if it is not a body, while every body is
compound, and what is composite is made up of parts, and is
consequently multiplex, the soul, on the other hand, being incorporeal,
is simple; since thus it is both uncompounded and indivisible into
parts.
