The object of deliberation and the object of choice are the same, except that when a
thing is chosen it has already been determined, since it is the thing already selected as
the result of our deliberation that is chosen. For a man stops enquiring how he shall act
as soon as he has carried back the origin of action to himself, and to the dominant
part1 of himself, for it is this part that chooses.
1 i.e., the intellect or reason, which chooses a line of action for the individual, as the Homeric monarch chose a policy for his kingdom.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
