In order to understand what logic the virtues followed, we must first look at the virtues themselves and how each one differentiates from one another. He differentiates between two different kinds of virtues: the ones that are regarding the one the greatest sources of intellect known to man, virtues of reason and intelligence, and the other part of the soul that is not fully capable of reason, but is more suited along one’s emotional well-being. Any one is capable of fully developing these two virtues, but a truly virtuous person takes great care in developing their reasoning in both ethically and intellectually virtuous.

One must exercise their mind and block out all irrational thought, to achieve a state of perfect intellectual reason. As we grow older, we tend to see things from the bigger picture. We lay in the back waiting for the reward instead of making instant haste. We learn when or not to rely on others and how to analyze critical situations. This is part of the intellectual phase. It should be noted that everyone can reach the full levels of both intellectual and ethical
