[10] The mind attains truth, either for the sake of truth itself

([Greek: aplos]), or for the sake of something further ([Greek:

eneka tinos]). If the first then either syllogistically ([Greek:

episteme]), non-syllogistically ([Greek: nous]), or by union of

the two methods ([Greek: sophla]). If the second, either with a

view to act ([Greek: phronesis]), or with a view to make ([Greek:

techne]).

Otherwise. The mind contemplates Matter Necessary or Contingent.

If necessary, Principles ([Greek: nous]), Deductions ([Greek:

episteme]), or Mixed ([Greek: sophla]). If Contingent, Action

([Greek: phronesis]), Production ([Greek: techen]). (Giphanius

quoted in Cardwell's notes.)

[11] It is the opening statement of the Post Analytics.
