Thus Understanding does not mean either the possession or the acquisition of Prudence;
but when we employ the faculty of Opinion to judge what another person says
about matters that are in the sphere of Prudence, we are said to understand
(that is, to judge rightly for right judgement is the same as
good understanding), in the same way as learning a thing is termed
understanding it when we are employing the faculty of Scientific Knowledge.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
