Περὶ Ἴσιδος και Ὀσίριδος

Περὶ Ἴσιδος και Ὀσίριδος Plutarch
58 We must not treat legend as if it were history at all, but we should adopt that which is appropriate in each legend in accordance with its verisimilitude. Whenever, therefore, we speak of material we must not be swept away to the opinions of some philosophers, Cf. 370 f, supra, and Diogenes Laertius, vii. 134. and conceive of an inanimate and indifferentiated body, which is of itself inert and inactive. The fact is that we call oil the material of perfume and gold the material of a statue, and these are not destitute of all differentiation. We provide the very soul and thought of Man as the basic material of understanding and virtue for Reason to adorn and to harmonize, and some have declared the Mind to be a place for the assembling of forms and for the impression of concepts, as it were. Cf. Aristotle, De Anima, iii. 4 (429 a 27).
