Synopsis of the De immortalitate animae (by the transl. of G. Watson)

§ 1. The human soul lives for ever, because it is in the soul that a discipline is found
§ 2. A discipline could not belong to the soul if the soul were a harmony of the body. The soul is reason, or reason is in it, and therefore the soul lives for ever
§ 3-4. Not everything which moves is changed, but only a living reality can move without being changed. Intention can cause change without itself being changed
§ 5. The perpetuity of disciplines guarantees immortality of the soul
§ 6. The soul possesses truths (e.g., of mathematics) even unconsciously, and these are immortal
§ 7. Kinds of change in the soul
§ 8-9. In the soul as in other subjects there can be accidental changes without substantial change
§ 10. Meaning of “ratio”
§ 11. “Ratio” and soul are inseparable, and so soul is immortal
§ 12. Turning from ratio is a diminution. But a body may be infinitely lessened and not reach nothingness. Much more so, the, the soul.
§ 13. Being and “species”, form, beauty.
§ 14-15. No thing makes itself. What is not made and nevertheless exists is eternal. An incorporeal force holds the universe together.
§ 16. The soul is life and therefore cannot die.
§ 17. The soul is not a blending of elements in the body, as is shown by its contemplation of the intelligibles
§ 18. The soul cannot perish by lessening and it cannot perish through falsity
§ 19. The soul cannot perish through truly being
§ 20. The soul will not change into body because a) the soul does not wish it
§ 21. b) The soul cannot be forced to be a body by a body
§ 22. c) The soul cannot be forced to be a body by a soul in an animated body
§ 23. d) The soul cannot be forced to be a body by sleep
§ 24. e) The soul cannot be forced to be a body, because the body receives its form through the soul
§ 25. f) The soul cannot be changed into an irrational soul. Forms transmitted from above. Soul distinguished from extended body
