01 followed by “The fact is, that in some cases science and the thing known are the same. In the case of the creative sciences, the essence and the self-realizing end, without the matter, are the object; in that of the theoretic sciences, the object and the thinking. Since, then, in all things that have no matter there is no difference between the object of the intellect and the intellect itself, the two must be the same, and thinking is one with its object.” ex “Aristotle’s Metaphysics, a translation of the eleventh book, by Thomas Davidson” in The Journal of Speculative Philosophy 22:3 (1888) 226-253 (240) Thomas Davidson (1840-1900), peripatetic philosopher. see wikipedia and (linked there), James A.

“The men who fought at Marathon, Salamis, and Platea were puritans, trained in a hard school to fear the gods, to respect the laws, their neighbors, and themselves, to reverence the wisdom of experience, to despise comfort and vice, to do honest work. They were not enfeebled by esthetic culture, paralyzed by abstract thinking, or hardened by professional training. They were educated to be men, friends, and citizens, not to be mere thinkers, critics, soldiers, or money makers.” — Thomas Davidson
