Again, since in most human affairs the same
thing is accompanied by some bad or good result, another topic consists in
employing the consequence to exhort or dissuade, accuse or defend, praise or
blame. For instance, education is attended by the evil of being envied, and by
the good of being wise; therefore we should not be educated, for we should avoid
being envied; nay rather, we should be educated, for we should be
wise. This topic is identical with the “Art” of Callippus,
when you have also included the topic of the possible and the others which have
been mentioned.
