16. Persons / D. Continuity of the Self / 2. Mental Continuity / b. Self as mental continuity

21828	A person is the whole of their soul [Plotinus]
	Full Idea: Man is not merely a part (the higher part) of the Soul but the total.
	From: Plotinus (The Enneads [c.245], 5.1.12)
	A reaction: The soul is psuche, which includes the vegetative soul. The higher part is normally taken to be reason. This seems pretty close to John Locke's view of the matter.
