section Summary
 
 
Aristotle within his Nicomachean Ethics defines the different regions of the soul, especially the virtues and functions of each. After all his contemplation over universal ideas, such as the very essence and base of justice and wisdom, he also realized the soul must contain a part to contemplate rational and changing ideas. This he defines in opposition to σoφíα, or intelligent wisdom, as φρόνησις, or practical wisdom. This complex idea, like Aristotle’s soul, has many regions which need to be explained before an understanding of the thing can be obtained.
