Logic or Ethics Ch. Aristotle's Virtues

2

By name, the virtue itself — by name or description,
the defect quality, which, in respect of that virtue is deficient
— by name or description the quality which in
respect of that same virtue is excessive — this is what
you have throughout — this is the sort of explanation
which is carried on through the whole list of virtues

But of this quality — to know the exact quantity of it
to know whether on each occasion, whether the quantity
which has been, or of that which is proposed were done
would be exhibited be the proper one, but by exhibiting
he must none of it or too little of it vice or weakness in
one shape or by exhibiting too much of it vice or
weakness in other shape should be exhibited — this
on every occasion is the one thing needful — this is
the purpose to which the words which are bestowed upon
it must will, if they be good for any thing be conducive.

Useful In the instance of the words here in question Difficult indeed it should be to shew
how to this useful — to this extremely useful purpose
how in any the slightest degree the it is in the nature
of them to be conducive.

In one or more words — the exactly proper quantity the quality which in
for the deficient quantity, and for the each instance
is in question in these cases in question several doses of in which it is
considered as capable of existing, viz. the proper dose
the deficient dose and the excessive dose this is what
you have not this is what you may look for long
enough ere you will find it.

☞ Compare this mode of exposition with that of the Noologist
who without giving the symptoms of any the disease or any of them should content
himself with giving their names.
