- Question five. The division of speculative science. 1. Is speculative science appropriately divided into these three parts: natural, mathematical and divine? 2. Does natural philosophy treat of what exists in motion and matter? 3. Does mathematics treat, without motion and matter, of what exists in matter? 4. Does divine science treat of what exists without matter and motion? -- question 6. The methods of speculative science. 1. Must we proceed according to the mode of reason in natural science, according to the mode of learning in mathematics, and according to the mode of intellect in divine science? 2. Should we entirely abandon the imaginatin in divine science? 3. Can our intellect behold the divine form itself? 4. Can our intellect behold the divine form by means of some speculative science?
