Below is a quote from the ancient Chinese philosopher Mengzi. Read the quote and then explain how Mengzi’s archery analogy illustrates the ways in which wisdom is a master virtue.

(Hint: suppose that by the term “sagacity” Mengzi means having the character virtues.)

Wisdom may be compared to skillfulness. Sagacity may be compared to strength. It is like shooting an arrow from beyond a hundred paces: its making it there is due to your strength, but its hitting the bull’s-eye is not due to your strength. (Mengzi B.)
