Either I)* ‘as in musical harmony there is a ruling principle

determining the character of the harmony,’ or 2) ‘ as harmony is

a ruling principle governing the combinations of sounds.’ The

first accords best with the common meaning of the word dppovla

and with the use of the genitive.

      found to consist of soul and body.’

      to speak of the whole of nature, but of the living creature only.’
      For spOrou (which is to be taken with CWV&vKf) meaning either
      ‘ to go no further,’ or ‘as the first result of analysis,’ cp. +rev

       Psychology, like logic, is constantly made by Aristotle and
       Plato the basis or form of politics. The individual is the image of
       the state in the complexity of his life and organisation, and the rela-
       tions of the parts of the state are expressed and even suggested by
       the divisions of the soul, and the relations of mind and body.
