[15] The meaning of the [Greek: hepehi] appears to be this: the
appeal is made in the first instance to popular language, just as
it the case of [Greek: epistaemae], and will be in those of
[Greek: phronaesis] and [Greek: sophia]. We commonly call
Architecture an Art, and it is so and so, therefore the name Art
and this so and so are somehow connected to prove that connection
to be "coextensiveness," we predicate one of the other and then
simply convert the proposition, which is the proper test of any
logical definition, or of any specific property. See the Topics,
1. vi.
[16] See the parable of the unjust Steward, in which the popular
sense of [Greek: phronaesis] is strongly brought out; [Greek:
ephaenesen ho kurios ton oikonomon taes adikias oti phronimos
epoiaesen hoti ohi viohi tou aionos toutou phronimoteroi,
k.t.l.]-Luke xvi. 8.
[17] Compare the [Greek: aplos] and [Greek: kath' ekasta
pepaideumenos] of Book I. chap. 1.
