[41] Meaning, of course, all those which relate to Moral Action.

[Greek: psronaesis ] is equivalent to [Greek: euboulia, ounesis,

gnomae, and nous] (in the new sense here given to it).

The faculty which guides us truly in all matters of Moral Action

is [Greek: phronaesis], i.e. Reason directed by Goodness or

Goodness informed by Reason. But just as every faculty of body

and soul is not actually in operation at the same time, though

the Man is acting, so proper names are given to the various

Functions of Practical Wisdom.

Is the [Greek: phronimos] forming plans to attain some particular

End? he is then [Greek: euboulos]-is he passing under review the

suggestions of others? he is [Greek: sunetos]-is he judging of

the acts of others? he admits [Greek: gnomae] to temper the

strictness of justness-is he applying general Rules to particular

cases? he is exercising [Greek: nous praktikos] or [Greek:

agsthaesis]-while in each and all he is [Greek: phronimos]?
