[5]
Now these various morbid dispositions in themselves do not fall within the limits
of Vice, nor yet does Bestiality; and to conquer or yield to them does not constitute
Unrestraint1
in the strict sense, but only the state so called by analogy; just as a man who cannot
control his anger must be described as ‘unrestrained in’ that passion,
not ‘unrestrained.’
（Indeed folly, cowardice, profligacy, and ill-temper, whenever they run to
excess, are either bestial or morbid conditions.
1 We must understand ‘does not constitute restraint or unrestraint’ unless we amend ‘and to fail to conquer, or to be conquered by, them does not constitute unrestraint.’
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
