And whatever of such actions, arts, or sciences range under some

one faculty (as under that of horsemanship the art of making

bridles, and all that are connected with the manufacture of

horse-furniture in general; this itself again, and every action

connected with war, under the military art; and in the same way

others under others), in all such, the Ends of the master-arts

are more choice-worthy than those ranging under them, because it

is with a view to the former that the latter are pursued.

(And in this comparison it makes no difference whether the acts

of working are themselves the Ends of the actions, or something

further beside them, as is the case in the arts and sciences we

have been just speaking of.)
