PhiiosophyIn Metaphysics he proved the existence of the Soul, and for the achievement of its final good, nothing clusively works, neither knowledge, nur action, nor pen. ance, nor thought, 101 manliness, nor exhortation nor conduct. He bore out the fact vehemently, that all three qualities together are essential One exclusive of others, cannot achieve the Goal or End.
The permanency or otherwise, existence and non-existence so also the describability or otherwise of the Soul is known from different viewpoints.
