Are we then to suppose that, while the carpenter and the shoemaker have definite
functions or businesses belonging to them, man as such has none, and is not designed by
nature to fulfil any function? Must we not rather assume that, just as the eye, the hand,
the foot and each of the various members of the body manifestly has a certain function of
its own, so a human being also has a certain function over and above all the functions of
his particular members?
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
