Again, it is held that all Scientific
Knowledge can be communicated by teaching, and that what is scientifically known must be
learnt. But all teaching starts from facts previously known, as we state in the
Analytics,1 since it
proceeds either by way of induction, or else by way of deduction. Now induction supplies a
first principle or universal, deduction works from universals; therefore
there are first principles from which deduction starts, which cannot be proved by
deduction; therefore they are reached by induction.
