Like the previous figures, the figure of Philosophy is addressed to the senses and imagination. The intellect receives it through the senses and imagination in accordance with the likenesses of corporeal species, wherefrom it rises to likenesses of spiritual species, and with all this it forms its own inner universal concept of the science of Philosophy. While the intellect grasps this universal concept it descends from the Prime Cause that is the cause of all causes through Motion, Intelligence, Heaven etc. After descending through successive particulars, the intellect ascends again by the same steps back to the Prime Cause. While investigating particulars the intellect discourses through the said degrees or steps with their respective propositions, to the extent that its own light together with the light of the senses and imagination can illuminate the particular investigation and judgment at hand by following the regulated form whereby Philosophy is configured in the intellect by using the senses and imagination. And Philosophy is considered as an imprint and foreshadowing of the science of Theology.
