To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
J Somehow part of the fire had got condensed and heavy and lost its divinity. Zeno gave an account, modelled on the old Ionian physics, of how this world came about, how part of the divine fire became depotentiated and changed into the grosser elements, the common fire which burns, air, water, and earth. Part, however, of the original fiery ether retained its proper form, and this constituted the active power in the Universe, whilst the rest was the passive material upon which it acted. All rou...nd the world was an envelope of the fiery ether, pure and unmixed, but it also penetrated the whole mass, as its soul. The orderly working of Nature was its operation : organic beings grew according to regular types, because the Divine Reason was in them as a logos spermatikoSj a formula of life developing from a germ. Even upon earth some of the divine fire retained its pure essence — the reasonable souls, each one a particle of fiery ether, which dwelt in the hearts of men.^ ' I say nothing here about the doctrine of tovos, because I do not understand it.
