The principle of the intellectual and moral manifestations. Also, the principle of life-the life of plants being termed An'ima vegetati'va, (F.) Ame vegetative; that of man, An'ima sensiti'va, (F.) Arne sensitive. The Anima of Stahl was a fancied intelligent principle, which he supposed to preside over the phenomena of life,-like the Archceus of Van Helmont. Under the term Anima mundi, the ancient philosophers meant a universal Spirit, which they supposed spread over every part of the universe. The precise seat of the mind in the brain has given rise to many speculations. The point is unsettled. With the ancient chemists, Anima meant the active principle of a drug separated by some chemical management.
