Techne and Contemplation

The Ethical superiority, in Aristotle's system, of Contemplation over Techne, is derived from the Theological superiority of divine Contemplation over divine Active Mind.  However, the latter relation is problematic.  For, he presents Active Mind as superior to Passive Mind, and as entailing the essential complementarity of Form and Matter, likening it to an Art that produces a multiplicity of particulars, perhaps an allusion to Deductive Reasoning.  In contrast, Contemplation is reflective and Immaterial.  Thus, because Contemplation is passive, it is inferior to Active Mind, and its Immateriality violates the thesis of Form-Matter complementarity.  Unfortunately, he does not seem to address this apparent problem, so if there is a resolution that would meet his approval, it is unclear what it might be.  One direction is to conceive Contemplation as an active, rather than a passive, doubling, in which case, what transpires is not a thought of an already present thought, but, inversely, a reproduction.  In any case, in the absence of a more coherent account of the two mental processes, Techne is Ethically superior to Contemplation.
