This thinker's articulation of the soul as both a physical substance and an immaterial form is found in a set of commentaries drawing on his colleague William of Moerbeke's translation of De Anima. He introduced an argument stating that all things, including goodness, must be categorized in hierarchies of degree, thus concluding that an (*) ultimate goodness must exist.
