The Immateriality of the Soul
For Aquinas the intellect of soul does not have to mean that it is unexcended and the materiality of animal souls does not mean that they are extended. So although any part of a human being is human being informed by the human soul it is only the whole human being that is a man but not any quantitative part of it. For him all material substantial forms whether they are souls or not are unexcended as the substantial forms that the M4 matter are presupposed by the quantity that extends about it however large or small. And so that is the end for all of us in the end. Thank you.
