Hence1 sometimes the nature of one of two opposite dispositions is
inferred from the other, sometimes dispositions are known from the things in which they
are found; for instance, if we know what good bodily condition is, we know from this what bad condition is as well, but we also know
what good condition is from bodies in good condition, and know what bodies are in good
condition from knowing what good condition is. Thus, supposing good condition is firmness
of flesh, bad condition must be flabbiness of flesh, and a diet productive of good
condition2 must be a
diet producing firmness of flesh.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
