Διὸκαὶ καὶ δι’ ὅλων εἶναι καλήν, καθάπερ καὶ τὴν ἐν τοῖς αὐλοῖς ἐνέργειαν δι’ ὅλων ἔντεχνον. Οὐ γὰρ ἐκβιβάζειν τὴν παράληψιν τῶν ὑλικῶν ἀρχῶν τῆς εἰλικρινείας τοῦ καλοῦ τὴν εὐδαιμονίαν, ὡς οὐδὲ τὴν τῆς ἰατρικῆς ἔντεχνον δι’ ὅλων ἐνέργειαν τὴν τῶν ὀργάνων χρῆσιν· πᾶσαν μὲν γὰρ πρᾶξιν γειαν τὴν τῶν ὀργάνων χρῆσιν· πᾶσαν μὲν γὰρ πρᾶξιν ἐνέργειαν εἶναί τινα ψυχῆς. Ἐπεὶ δ’ ὁ πράττων συγχρῆταί τισι πρὸς τὴν τελειότητα τῆς προθέσεως, μέρη ταῦτα οὐ χρὴ νομίζειν τῆς ἐνεργείας· καίτοι γε ἐπιζητούσης ἑκατέρας τῶν εἰρημένων τὸ τοιοῦτον, οὐ μὴν ὡς μέρος, ὡς δὲ ποιητικὸν τῆς τέχνης. Τὰ γὰρ ὧν ἄνευ πράττειν ὁτιοῦν ἀδύνατον, μέρη τῆς ἐνεργείας λέγειν, οὐκ ὀρθόν. Τὸ μὲν γὰρ μέρος ἐπινοεῖσθαι κατὰ τὸ συμπληρωτικὸν τοῦ ὅλου τὰ δ’ ὧν οὐκ ἄνευ κατὰ τὸ ποιητικόν, τῷ φέρειν καὶ συνεργεῖν εἰς τὸ τέλος.","divisions":[{"label":"§ 1","url":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0529.tlg002.local001/#tlg0529-tlg002-local001-1"},{"label":"§ 2","url":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0529.tlg002.local001/#tlg0529-tlg002-local001-2"},{"label":"Περὶ τοῦ ἠθικοῦ εἴδους τῆς φιλοσοφίας.","url":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0529.tlg002.local001/#tlg0529-tlg002-local001-3"}],"formats":{"html":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0529.tlg002.local001/","json":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/api/works/tlg0529.tlg002.local001.json","compressedReadingDocument":"https://thegreeklibrary.org/works/tlg0529/tlg002/local001.json.gz"}}
