Document Summary

There is a bit of everything in everything. For example, there are flesh bits in a book as well there is book bits in flesh. Anaxagoras explains that the mind moves everything and mixes everything. Everything contains a portion of everything, but the mind is not contained in the mixture because it wouldn"t be able to move the mixture. For example, our minds causes our bodies to move. Similarly in the cosmos as a whole, what causes the whole cosmos to move is something that is not part from it, or not part of the mixture. And it must be not a material, anaxagoras response to that is the mind. If mind is mixed with one single thing, then it would be mixed with everything, and therefore it wont have any power to move or control the mixture, and it would rule or move nothing. He explains that the mind is the purist of all, and has judgement about everything.
