It would therefore seem by no means proper to omit so important a subject, especially as
there is much difference of opinion about it. Some people maintain that pleasure is the
Good. Others on the contrary say that it is altogether bad: some of them perhaps from a
conviction that it is really so, but others because they think it to be in the interests
of morality to make out that pleasure is bad, even if it is not, since most men
（they argue） have a bias towards it, and are the slaves of their
pleasures, so that they have to be driven in the opposite direction in order to arrive at
the due mean.
