CHAPTER III

THE INTELLECTUAL VIRTUES

1. The common conception of Wisdom assumes a harmony of the ends of different ethical methods: all of which--and not one rather than another--the wise man is commonly thought to aim at and attain as far as circumstances admit. 231-233

2. The Will is to some extent involved in forming wise decisions: but more clearly in acting on them--whatever we may call the Virtue thus manifested. 233-236

3. Of minor intellectual excellences, some are not strictly Virtues: others are, such as Caution and Decision, being in part voluntary. 236-237
