God ia there said, DOt to create types (Ideaa) ; but these types having existed from all eternity, God in fashioning Chaoa ^hioned it after the model of the^e Ideas, In thia view there is no participation in the na- ture of Ideas, but only a participation in their /orm. Wliichever hypothesis he adopted (and Plato did not much Digitized by Google care for eitfier), this conception of Heaven and Earth as tw^ dif ferent regions, is completed by the conception of the doable na- ture of the soul ; o...r rather, of two souls : one Rational and the other Sensitive. These two souls are closely connected^ as the two regions of Ideas and Phenomena are connected. Neither of them is superfluous ; neither of them, in a human sense, suffi- cient : they complete each other. The Sensitive soul awakens the reminiscences of the Rational soul ; and the Rational soul, by detecting the One in the Many, preserves Man ttom the skep- ticism inevitably resulting from mere sense-knowledge. Thus did Plato resume in himself all the conflicting tendencies of his age ; thus did he accept each portion of the truth supposed to be discovered by his predeceasors, and reconcile these portiont in one general tendency.
