We
are here speaking of practical thinking, and of the attainment of truth in regard to
action; with speculative thought, which is not concerned with action or production, right
and wrong functioning consist in the attainment of truth and falsehood respectively. The
attainment of truth is indeed the function of every part of the intellect, but that of the
practical intelligence is the attainment of truth corresponding to right desire.1
1 i.e., truth about the means to the attainment of the rightly desired End.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
