A proof of this is that everyone, even at the present day, in
defining Virtue, after saying what disposition it is1 and specifying the things with which it is
concerned, adds that it is a disposition determined by the right principle; and the right
principle is the principle determined by Prudence. It appears therefore that everybody in
some sense, divines that Virtue is a disposition of this nature, namely regulated by
Prudence.
1 i.e., that it is a ἕξις προαιρετική: see the definition of Moral Virtue, 2.6.15.
