According to Aristotle, wisdom is a composite or integration of two other intellectual virtues - nous (intelligence, intellect), which supplies a grasp of the first principles; and episteme (science, knowledge), which reasons using those first principles to provide a coherent body of knowledge. He also maintains that wisdom in this sense is distinct from and superior to practical wisdom (phronesis) - the former has to do with higher things, matters that do not chance or whose principles do not change, while the latter bears upon the human world of contingent affairs and actions.
