If a thing corresponds to a practical intellect it is true as far as it corresponds to such an intellect. All things in their totality are true as far as they are corresponding to the Divine intellect. For as far as every thing is an effect of God, either on the ground of efficient cause or of finality, everything has its idea within the Divine mind. Furthermore, since things have a similitude to their ideas, they are true, and the more they become similar to their ideas, the more they will become true.... But if the question is broached whether God himself is true, I declare that all modes of truth are in God. He is true in all His modes, because in God there is total adequacy of all things to the intellect, and of the intellect to all things. For His essence is equal to His intellect, and His intellect, and His intellect is equal to His essence, and in no way can He practice any deception upon Himself.   Excerpted from Commentarii in Libros Aristotelis De Anima, by Pietro Pomponazzi   The Philosophy and Psychology of Pietro Pomponazzi, by Andrew Halliday Douglas The Cambridge Companion to Renaissance Humanism Enrich Your Life With a Philosophy Book...
