Ursus Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 How do you write "old soul" in Latin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Quintus Sertorius Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'd hazard animus senecis, "soul of an old man", but wait for confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Soul of an old man? Thanks but not what i was looking for. I meant more along the lines of "timeless soul" or "eternal soul." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Quintus Sertorius Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Animus aeternus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentium Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) It depends if you're referring to soul or spirit: Anima vivimus, animus sentimus Edited August 21, 2006 by Silentium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Anima vivimus, animus sentimus nice sentence Silentium! Who did say it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentium Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Anima vivimus, animus sentimus nice sentence Silentium! Who did say it? Gianbattista Vico my interest in the anima/animus difference was sparked when I ventured into the study of Descartes. Anyway, I realised how incomprehensible my previous post sounds so I'll try to make it a bit clearer. Anima Aeterna and Animus Aeternus are both possible, the first one would be more appropriate when referring to soul (in my opinion), the second when referring to "spirit", "thinking principle" opposed to the body.
