[6]
But the mass of mankind, instead of doing
virtuous acts, have recourse to discussing virtue, and fancy that they are pursuing
philosophy and that this will make them good men. In so doing they act like invalids who
listen carefully to what the doctor says, but entirely neglect to carry out his
prescriptions. That sort of philosophy will no more lead to a healthy state of soul than
will the mode of treatment produce health of body.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
