Philosophy consists of three parts, the moral, the natural, and the rational.
The first applies to the spiritual conscience, the second examines the natural order of things, and the third inquiries into the proper mean and usage of words.
The third keeps falsehoods from creeping in to displace the truth.
All of these have one purpose: to help us live a good life ruled by reason now, not in the future.
Seneca, Moral Letter, 89.9
