E5P36D
Demonstration — Part V
Latin
Hic mentis amor ad mentis actiones referri debet (per corollarium propositionis 32 hujus et per propositionem 3 partis III) qui proinde actio est qua mens se ipsam contemplatur concomitante idea Dei tanquam causa (per propositionem 32 hujus et ejus corollarium) hoc est (per corollarium propositionis 25 partis I et corollarium propositionis 11 partis II) actio qua Deus quatenus per mentem humanam explicari potest, seipsum contemplatur concomitante idea sui atque adeo (per propositionem præcedentem) hic mentis amor pars est infiniti amoris quo Deus seipsum amat. Q.E.D.
English (Elwes 1883)
This love of the mind must be referred to the activities of the mind (V. xxxii. Coroll. and III. iii.); it is itself, indeed, an activity whereby the mind regards itself accompanied by the idea of God as cause (V. xxxii. and Coroll.); that is (I. xxv. Coroll. and II. xi. Coroll.), an activity whereby God, in so far as he can be explained through the human mind, regards himself accompanied by the idea of himself; therefore (by the last Prop.), this love of the mind is part of the infinite love wherewith God loves himself. Q.E.D.
Modern English
This love of the mind must be referred to the actions of the mind (E5P32C). It is itself an action by which the mind contemplates itself, accompanied by the idea of God as cause (E5P32), that is, (E1P25C), an action by which God, insofar as God can be explained through the human mind, contemplates itself accompanied by the idea of itself. This love of the mind is therefore (E5P35) a part of the infinite love by which God loves himself. Q.E.D.
