Translated headword: philosophy
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Philosophy is a correction of character accompanied by an opinion of a true knowledge about what is. Jews and Greeks led it astray.[1]
Philosophy[2] is divided into ethics, theology, physics. And the truest knowledge of the soul also contributes to philosophy as a whole: to ethics, because [it is] impossible that we set in order our own characters if we have not looked upon the faculties of the soul; to theology, because we are investigating about the intellect which is separable in us, since it too [is] immortal, insofar as the intellect is also among the intelligible things; intellect is one of the relatives, and he who knows one of [two] relative things will know the other. [It is] obvious that the theoretical activity of our intellect also contributes great things to theology; and it also contributes to physics, at any rate if it the task of the physicist to discuss about bodies and the forms and faculties themselves, and the most beautiful of the forms in the bodies, [which is] the soul.
