Translation
Philosophy2 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.
Search for another philosophy under [the entry] "potentiality",3 and another under "because",4 and another under "school."5
Greek original · Adler’s text
Φιλοσοφία. Φιλοσοφία ἐστὶν ἠθῶν κατόρθωσις μετὰ δόξης τῆς περὶ τοῦ ὄντος γνώσεως ἀληθοῦς. ταύτης δὲ ἀπεσφάλησαν Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ Ἕλληνες. διαιρεῖται δὲ ἡ φιλοσοφία εἰς ἠθικήν, θεολογικήν, φυσικήν. καὶ ἡ ἀληθεστάτη γνῶσις τῆς ψυχῆς πρὸς πᾶσαν φιλοσοφίαν συμβάλλεται. καὶ πρὸς μὲν τὴν ἠθικήν, ὅτι ἀδύνατον ἡμᾶς τὰ ἑαυτῶν κατακοσμῆσαι ἤθη, τὰς δυνάμεις τῆς ψυχῆς μὴ ἐπεσκεμμένους· πρὸς δὲ θεολογίαν, ὅτι ζητοῦμεν περὶ τοῦ νοῦ τοῦ χωριστοῦ τοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν, ὅτι καὶ αὐτὸς ἀθάνατος· ἐπειδὴ δὲ καὶ ὁ νοῦς νοητῶν ἐστι· νοῦς τῶν πρός τι ἐστί, τῶν δὲ πρός τι ὁ τὸ ἓν εἰδὼς καὶ τὸ ἕτερον εἴσεται. δῆλον δέ, ὅτι ἡ θεωρία τοῦ ἡμετέρου νοῦ καὶ εἰς θεολογίαν μεγάλα συμβάλλεται· συμβάλλεται δὲ ἡμῖν καὶ πρὸς τὴν φυσικήν, εἴγε φυσικοῦ μέν ἐστιν ἔργον τὸ περὶ τῶν σωμάτων διαλεχθῆναι καὶ τῶν εἰδῶν αὐτῶν καὶ δυνάμεων, τῶν δὲ ἐν σώμασιν εἰδῶν τὸ κάλλιστον, ἡ ψυχή. ζήτει καὶ ἑτέραν φιλοσοφίαν ἐν τῷ δύναμις, καὶ ἑτέραν ἐν τῷ διότι, καὶ ἑτέραν ἐν τῷ αἵρησις.
