[269] διόπερ οὐδὲ ὁ τρόπος τῆς μαθήσεως ὑποστῆναι δύναιτο ἂν. καὶ
γὰρ ὁ διδάσκων κατάληψιν τῶν θεωρημάτων τῆς διδασκαμένης τέχνης ἐμποιεῖν ὀφείλει τῷ μανθάνοντι, ἵνα οὕτως ἐκεῖνος τὸ σύστημα τούτων καταλαβὼν τεχνίτης γένηται. οὐδὲν δέ ἐστι κατάληψις, ὧς ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν ὑπεμνήσαμεν § 264)· οὐκοῦν οὐδὲ ὁ τρόπος τῆς
ὑφεστάναι δύναται. εἰ δὲ μήτε τὸ διδασκόμενον ἔστι μήτε ὁ διδάσκων καὶ ὁ μανθάνων μήτε ὁ τρόπος τῆς μαθήσεως, οὔτε μάθησις ἔστιν οὔτε διδασκαλία.

[269] Consequently, the method of learning also will be incapable of subsisting. For, in fact, the teacher ought to impart to the learner an apprehension of the principles of the art he is teaching, so that the latter by apprehending them as a system may thus become an expert artist. But, as we have shown above,¹ apprehension is nothing; therefore also the method of teaching cannot subsist. But if neither the matter taught exists, nor the teacher and the learner, nor the method of learning, then neither learning exists nor teaching.
