Do you think that? for observe, my statement denies that. My statement is, that a school of literature teaches you to have one sort of conception, not another sort; a school of art to do a particular sort of deed, not another sort; a school of science to possess a particular sort of knowledge, not another sort. 9. I assume that you differ with me on this point;--some of you certainly will. Well then, let me go back a step. You will all go thus far with me, that--now taking the Greek words--the school of literature teaches you to have νοῧς, or conception of things, instead of ἄνοια,--no conception of things; that the school of art teaches you τέχνη of things, instead of ἀτεχνία; and the school of science ἐπιστήμη, instead of ἄγνοια or 'ignorantia.' But, you recollect, Aristotle names two other faculties with these three,--φρόνησις, namely, and σοφίa. He has altogether five, τέχνη, ἐπιστήμη, φρόνησις, σοφίa, νοῦς; that is to say, in simplest English,--art, science, sense, wisdom, and wit. We have got our art, science, and wit, set over their three domains; and we old people send you young ones to those three schools, that you may not remain artless, scienceless, nor witless. But how of the sense, and the wisdom? What domains belong to these? Do you think our trefoil division should become cinquefoil, and that we ought to have two additional schools; one of Philosophia, and one of Philophronesia? If Aristotle's division were right it would be so. But his division is wrong, and he presently shows it is; for he tells you in the next page, (in the sentence I have so often quoted to you,) that "the virtue of art is the wisdom which consists in the wit of what is honourable." Now that is perfectly true; but it of course vitiates his division altogether. He divides his entire subject into _A_, _B_, _C_, _D_, and _E_; and then he tells you that the virtue of _A_ is the _B_ which consists in _C_. Now you will continually find, in this way, that Aristotle's assertions are right, but his divisions illogical. It is quite true that the virtue of art is the wisdom which consists in the wit of what is honourable; but also the virtue of science is the wit of what is honourable, and in the same sense, the virtue of νοῦς, or wit itself, consists in its _being_ the wit or conception of what is honourable. Σοφία, therefore, is not only the ἀρετή τέχνης, but, in exactly the same sense, the ἀρετή ἐπιστήμης, and in this sense, it is the ἀρετή νόου. And if not governed by σοφίa, each school will teach the vicious condition of its own special faculty. As σοφία is the ἀρετή of all three, so μωρία will be the κακία of all three.
