Walbaum MT Std (solid—20)
Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is
thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly
been declared to be that at which all things aim. But a certain
diﬀerence is found among ends; some are activities, others are products
apart from the activities that produce them. Where there are ends
apart from the actions, it is the nature of the products to be better than
the activities. Now, as there are many actions, arts, and sciences, their
ends also are many; the end of the medical art is health, that of
shipbuilding a vessel, that of strategy victory, that of economics
wealth. But where such arts fall under a single capacity—as bridle-
making and the other arts concerned with the equipment of horses fall
under the art of riding, and this and every military action under
strategy, in the same way other arts fall under yet others—in all of
these the ends of the master arts are to be preferred to all the
subordinate ends
