νοῦς—διάνοια—ἡδονή
πῶς ποτὲ γίνεται τὸ νοεῖν.65
Νοῦς: ᾧ γιγνώσκει τε ἡ ψυχὴ καὶ φρονεῖ βελτίστη ἕξις)66—the being-possibility of being-in-the-world in the mode of being-familiar, becoming-familiar with . . . [as well as]67 that of looking-around, being-oriented with . . . in the wider sense, being-oriented for . . . , orientation as “can,” πρὸς ἄλληλα, beingin. Orienting-oneself-thus.
Νοῦς—νοεῖν: ἀπαθές, δεκτικὸν τοῦ εἴδους,68 to be able to perceive the look, to be it in accordance with the possibility (basic ontological determination of δύναμις!). μηδεμία φύσις ἀλλ’ ἢ ταύτην, ὅτι δυνατόν69: the possibility of the there of beings, of their being-there, because the being and being-possible of discoveredness. ἡ ψυχὴ τὰ ὄντα πώς ἐστιν70: the being-in-the-world and the being-alongside-itself of being-there “is the being,” its possibility in view of the appropriation of the there, the discoveredness. δυνάμει τὰ εἴδη71: the being is always there in its “look.”
ὁ ἄρα καλούμενος in the everyday self-interpretation of being-there, the ‘initially and for the most part,’ that which is familiar to τῇς ψυχῇς νοῦς [. . .] οὐθέν ἐστιν ἐνεργείᾳ τῶν ὄντων πρὶν νοεῖν:72 νοῦς is not the presence of beings, the possibility becomes genuine through fulfillment and through σϕόδρα νοητόν73, i.e., the being of beings (always originally determined in the ἀρχαί) itself yields precisely the being in its wider non-original determinations in the proper mode.
ὁ κατ’ ἐνέργειαν [τῇς ψυχῇς νοῦς] [. . .] καὶ τότε δυνάμει πως,74 also, then, never with everyone (i.e., it is not mixed, solely δεκτικόν, μηθενὶ μηθὲν ἔχει κοινόν, ἀπαθές75), but rather also then and always possibility, being of beingin. καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ αὑτὸν τότε δύναται νοεῖν:76 in itself remained possibility and thus νοητός,77 itself something accessible for itself, the access to itself from out of its being-character (not “reflection” and “I”).
ἐν δὲ τοῖς ἔχουσιν ὕλην δυνάμει ἕκαστον ἐστι τῶν νοητῶν. [. . .] ἐκείνῳ δὲ [τὸ οὕτῶς [[θἐωρητικῶς]] ἐπιστητόν] τὸ νοητὸν ὕπάρψει.78 The being of νοῦς as
