#aristotle #five-intelectual-virtues #trivium

Aristotle analyzed virtues into moral and intellectual virtues (or dianoetic virtues, from the Greek aretai dianoetikai). In the Posterior Analytics and Nicomachean Ethics he identified five intellectual virtues as the five ways the soul arrives at truth by affirmation or denial. These are then separated into three classes:

  • Theoretical
  • Practical
  • Productive
    • Techne – craft knowledge, art, skill

Subjacent intellectual virtues in Aristotle:

  • Euboulia – deliberating well, deliberative excellence; thinking properly about the right end.
  • Sunesis – understanding, sagacity, astuteness, consciousness of why something is as it is. For example, the understanding you have of why a situation is as it is, prior to having phronesis.
  • Gnomê – judgement and consideration; allowing us to make equitable or fair decisions.
  • Deinotes – cleverness; the ability to carry out actions so as to achieve a goal.
