Empedocles animum esse censet cordi suffusum sanguinem ; aliis pars quaedam cerebri visa est animi principatum tenere ; aliis nec cor ipsum placet nec cerebri quandam partem esse animum , sed alii in corde , alii in cerebro dixerunt animi esse sedem et locum ; animum autem alii animam , ut fere nostri declarat nomen : nam et agere animam et efflare dicimus et animosos et bene animatos et ex animi sententia ; ipse autem animus ab anima dictus est ; Zenoni Stoico animus ignis videtur .
Empedocles
holds
that
the
soul
is
blood
permeating
the
heart
:
others
thought
that
a
particular
part
of
the
brain
had
claim
to
the
primacy
of
soul
;
others
do
not
regard
the
actual
heart
or
a
particular
portion
of
the
brain
as
being
the
soul
,
but
some
of
them
have
said
that
the
heart
is
the
local
habitation
of
the
soul
,
whilst
others
place
it
in
the
brain
;
others
however
identify
soul
and
breath
as
we
Romans
practically
do
—
the
name
explains
this
,
for
we
speak
of
"
giving
up
the
ghost
"
and
"
expiring
"
and
of
"
spirited
people
"
and
"
people
of
good
spirit
"
and
"
to
the
best
of
one’s
belief
"
;
moreover
the
actual
word
for
"
soul
"
has
come
from
the
word
for
"
breath
"
in
Latin
;
—
Zeno
the
Stoic
holds
the
soul
to
be
fire
.
