4. Moreh Nebukim (מורה נבוכים),^[3] in many places, but especially Part III, Chapters 51–54.
5. Scattered references in his minor works, as:
   1. Terminology of Logic^[4] (מלות ההגיון);
   2. Treatise on the Unity of God^[5] (מאמר הייחוד)
   3. Various Responsa (תשובות); Letters (אגרות); and Medical Aphorisms (פרקי משה).^[6]

In his Terminology of Logic^[7] (מלות ההגיון), Maimonides divides philosophy into two divisions: theoretical (הפילוסופיא העיונית), and practical philosophy (הפילוסופיא המעשית).^[8] The latter he also terms “human philosophy” (פילוסופיא אנושית), or “political science” (החכמה המדינית). Under theoretical philosophy he groups mathematics, physics, and metaphysics. Under practical philosophy are found ethics (הנהגת האדם נפשו), household economy (הנהגת הבית), the science of government (הנהגת המדינה), and politics in its broadest sense (הנהגת האומה הגדולה או האומות).
