4.27

Reply: You say that having already been equally covered as identical with the multitude, and so forth. Since the spirit of extraordinary sentience is distinct from the multitude, how could the principle of obtaining life ever be momentarily identical? Life is rooted in principle, yet the principles differ. Where is the designation of life that is identical with the multitude to attach? If one insists on this designation of life and forces it to follow the multitude, then will that thing formed in chaos also be included in the category?
