Acting through ignorance however seems
to be different from acting in ignorance; for when a man is drunk or in a
rage, his actions are not thought to be done through ignorance but owing to one or other
of the conditions mentioned, though he does act without knowing, and in
ignorance. Now it is true that all wicked men are ignorant of what they ought to do and
refrain from doing, and that this error is the cause of injustice and of vice in general.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
