[6]
One so
constituted by nature as to be frightened by everything, even the sound of a mouse, shows
the cowardice of a lower animal; the man who was afraid of a weasel was a case of disease.
So with folly: people irrational by nature and living solely by sensation, like certain
remote tribes of barbarians, belong to the bestial class; those who lose their reason
owing to some disease, such as epilepsy, or through insanity, to the morbid.）
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
