It is plain then that Science is the union of Knowledge and

Intuition, and has for its objects those things which are most

precious in their nature. Accordingly, Anexagoras, Thales, and

men of that stamp, people call Scientific, but not Practically

Wise because they see them ignorant of what concerns themselves;

and they say that what they know is quite out of the common run

certainly, and wonderful, and hard, and very fine no doubt, but

still useless because they do not seek after what is good for

them as men.
