[22]
But our dispositions are not voluntary in the same way
as are our actions. Our actions we can control from beginning to end, and we are
conscious, of them at each stage.1 With our dispositions on the other hand, though
we can control their beginnings, each separate addition to them is imperceptible, as is the case with
the growth of a disease; though they are voluntary in that we were free to employ our
capacities in the one way or the other.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
