Anomalous Moral Entities

1. Friendship — By Aristotle,
a sort of cousin to
the Virtues.

Not so, but disparate
It is a sort of state or
condition in life, constituted
by a certain sort
of relation. It is analogous
to Raritulity, Uxorality
Paternity, Felicity.

It differs from marriage
in not having the sexual
appetite for the bond of
connection, nor
fo amongst the fruits:
and thence in not being
for life or for a term
certain.

2. Envy and Jealousy

3. Pride and Vanity.

4. Ambition.

5. Respect and Esteem
