Ancient & Medieval Philosophy -- David L. Rouse
- The source of motion in the cosmos is Mind.
-
All other things have a portion of everything, but Mind is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing but is all alone by itself. ...And the things that are mingled and separated and divided off, all are known by Mind. And all things that were to be, all things, that were but are not now, all things that are now or that shall be, Mind arranged them all, including this rotation in which are now rotating the stars, the sun and moon, the air and the aither that are being separated off. And this rotation caused the separating off. And the dense is separated from the rare, the hot from the cold, the bright from the dark and the dry from the moist. [Fr. 12]
