French term or phrase: une partie du tout
Voici une extrait d'Aristote

"En effet, la region du monde sensible qui nous environne est la seul ou regnent la generation et la corruption, mais elle n'est meme pas, si l'on peut dire, une partie du tout, de sorte qu'il eut ete plus juste d'absoudre le monde sensible en faveur du monde celeste, que de condamner le monde celeste a cause du monde sensible."

Est-ce qu'il y a aucun sens implicite dans 'une partie du tout'?
Sinon, je crois qu'il serait plus naturel de dire "mais elle n'est meme qu'une partie du tout"...

Merci d'avance pour l'aide.
