Slighting is an actualization of opinion in
regard to something which appears valueless; for things which are really bad or
good, or tend to become so, we consider worthy of attention, but those which are
of no importance or trifling1 we ignore. Now there are three kinds of slight:
disdain, spitefulness, and insult.
1 Or, “those in which this tendency does not exist, or is trifling.”
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
