What is the soul's essence? -- Bodies act and are modified in virtue of non-bodily items -- The demonstration that the soul is a form -- 'In something' [is said] in how many ways? -- The soul is inseparable from the body whose soul it is -- The soul is not one of the simple bodies -- The soul itself just on its own is unchangeable -- The soul is not a harmony -- The parts of the soul : how many and which ones? -- That there are not infinitely many powers of the soul -- There are two kinds of nourishment -- On the activity of being nourished -- Heat is the soul's tool for nourishing [oneself] -- Why parts detached from plants live and develop, while those from animals no longer do -- On the soul for perceiving -- On what is intrinsically and extrinsically perceptible -- How there comes to be light in the transparent.
