Theoria

Japanese: テオリア
Theoria
A Greek word meaning "seeing," "contemplation," or "contemplation." The English word "theory" comes from this, and "theatre" is also a synonym. Aristotle's contrast with "praxis" (practice) and his assertion of the superiority of theoria over praxis were later expressed as a contrast between "active life" (vita activa) and "contemplative life" (vita contemplativa).

Japanese:
〈見ること〉〈観照〉〈観想〉を意味するギリシア語。英語theory(法則,理論)はこれに由来し,theatreも類語。アリストテレスによる〈プラクシスpraxis〉(実践)と対照,およびプラクシスに対するテオリアの優越の主張は,後世〈活動的生vita activa〉と〈観想的生vita contemplativa〉の対立として変奏される。
