dianoetic

1 Happiness, therefore, consists in the combination of dianoetic and ethical virtues.

2 But the aim is after all the life of the intellect, and the "dianoetic" virtues are superior to the practical.

3 But dianoetic forms or ideas imitate the intellectual, which have a prior subsistence, render the order of soul similar to the intellectual order, and comprehend all things in a secondary degree.

4 The dianoetic virtues are the higher, because in them man's special function alone is in operation, and also because the thinking man most resembles God, whose life is a life of pure thought.

5 Aristotle says little in detail of the dianoetic virtues.

6 These intellectual virtues are called by Aristotle dianoetic.

7 Hence, slays Proclus, it folds itself about the indivisibility of true intellect, conforms itself to all formless species, and becomes perfectly every thing, from which the dianoetic power and our indivisible reason consists.

8 By this ascent, therefore Plato signifies the contemplation of dianoetic objects in the mathematical disciplines.

9 Whence is it then that the dianoetic power concludes thus confidently that the Proposition is true of all triangles?

10 According to the second definition, he calls dianoetic knowledge science; but according to the first alone, he assigns to physiology the appellation of science.
