Then, do men like
what is really good, or what is good for them? for sometimes the two may be at variance;
and the same with what is pleasant. Now it appears that each person loves what is good for
himself, and that while what is really good is lovable absolutely, what is good for a
particular person is lovable for that person. Further, each person loves not what is
really good for himself, but what appears to him to be so; however, this will not affect
our argument, for ‘lovable’ will mean ‘what appears
lovable.’
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
