Table of Contents:
The profligate, as we said,1 does not feel
remorse, for he abides by his choice; the unrestrained man on the other hand invariably
repents his excesses afterwards. Hence the objection that we stated2 does not hold good; on the contrary, it is the profligate
who cannot be cured, whereas the unrestrained man can; for Vice resembles diseases like
dropsy and consumption, whereas Unrestraint is like epilepsy, Vice being a chronic,
Unrestraint an intermittent evil. Indeed Unrestraint and Vice are entirely different in
kind, for Vice is unconscious, whereas the unrestrained man is aware of his infirmity.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
