ences, also, that which is desirable on its own account and for the sake of knowing it is more of the nature of Wisdom than that which is desirable on account of its results, and the superior science is more of the nature of Wisdom than the ancillary; for Crystal Palace Trøjer the wise man must not be ordered but must order, and he Emil Audero Jersey must not obey another, but the less wise must obey him.
Such and so many are the notions, then, which we Chandler Hoffman Jersey have about Wisdom and the wise. Now of these characteristics that of knowing all things must belong to him who has in the highest degree universal knowledge; for he knows in a sense all the instances that fall under the universal. And these things, the most universal, are on the whole the hardest for men Match Polo to know; for they are farthest from the senses. And the most exact of the sciences are those which deal most with first principles; for those which involve fewer principles are more exact than those Wolfsburg Pelipaita which involve additional principles, e.g. arithmetic than Adidas Superstar Dame geometry. But the science which investigates causes is also instructive, in a higher degree, for the people who instruct Pony Kortbyxor us are those who tell the causes of each thing. And understanding and knowledge pursued for their own sake are found most in the knowledge of that which is most knowable (for he who chooses to know for the sake of Olympic Czech Republic Pelipaidat knowing will choose most readily that which is most truly knowledge, and such is the knowledge of that which is most knowable); and the first principles and the causes are most knowable; for by reason of these, and from these, all other things come to be known, and not these by means of the things subordinate to them. And the science which knows to what end each thing must be done is the most authoritative of the sciences, and more authoritative than any ancillary science; and this end is the good of that thing, and in general the supreme good in the whole of nature. Judged by all Nike Air Max 2012 Dame Sko the tests we have mentioned, then, the name in question falls to the same science; this must be a science that investigates the first principles and causes; for the good, i.e. the end, is one of the causes.
That it is not a science of production is clear even from the history of the earliest philosophers. For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize; they wondered originally at the obvious difficulties, then advanced little by little and stated difficulties about the greater matters, Jherson Vergara Jersey e.g. about the phenomena of the moon and those of the sun and Nuri Sahin Jersey of the stars, and about the genesis of the universe. And a man who is puzzled and wonders thinks himself ignorant (whence even Juventus Miesten the lover of myth is in a sense a lover of Wisdom, for the myth is composed of wonders); therefore since they philosophized order to escape from ignorance, evidently they were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end. And this is confirmed by the facts; for it was when almost all the necessities of life and the things that make for comfort and recreation had been secured, that such knowledge began to be soughtlinks:
