The Significance of Participation in the World of Life

Extension is merely a sign of participation in the world of life. The body has therefore not entered into it as in something that possesses extension. Participation can be only in the intelligible. A two foot object does not become a three foot object but the object which first had a certain quantity merely changes to some other quantity. If an additional body should also enter it, it will participate in it in the same way entirely. Sensation whose testimony hinders us from believing what we are told reveals to us here and there the world ofLife.
