FS: Treatise On Habits In Particular
Q57 Of The Intellectual Virtues
< previous   Prologue   next >

Prologue   A1   A2   A3   A4   A5   A6  

We now have to consider the various kinds of virtue: and (1) the intellectual virtues; (2) the moral virtues; (3) the theological virtues. Concerning the first there are six points of inquiry:

A1 Whether habits of the speculative intellect are virtues?

A2 Whether they are three, namely, wisdom, science and understanding?

A3 Whether the intellectual habit, which is art, is a virtue?

A4 Whether prudence is a virtue distinct from art?

A5 Whether prudence is a virtue necessary to man?

A6 Whether "eubulia," "synesis" and "gnome" are virtues annexed to prudence?
