And perhaps one 3 I, 5 | incomplete; for possession of virtue seems actually compatible 4 I, 7 | pleasure, reason, and every virtue we choose indeed for themselves ( 5 I, 7 | soul in accordance with virtue, and if there are more than 6 I, 7 | there are more than one virtue, in accordance with the 7 I, 8 | identify happiness with virtue, some with practical wisdom, 8 I, 8 | identify happiness with virtue or some one virtue our account 9 I, 8 | with virtue or some one virtue our account is in harmony; 10 I, 8 | account is in harmony; for to virtue belongs virtuous activity. 11 I, 8 | virtuous acts to the lover of virtue. Now for most men their 12 I, 8 | others identify it with virtue.~ 13 I, 9 | of training, or comes in virtue of some divine providence 14 I, 9 | but comes as a result of virtue and some process of learning 15 I, 9 | is the prize and end of virtue seems to be the best thing 16 I, 9 | regards their potentiality for virtue may win it by a certain 17 I, 9 | said, not only complete virtue but also a complete life, 18 I, 10 | accordance with complete virtue and is sufficiently equipped 19 I, 12 | general both the good man and virtue itself because of the actions 20 I, 12 | Praise is appropriate to virtue, for as a result of virtue 21 I, 12 | virtue, for as a result of virtue men tend to do noble deeds, 22 I, 13 | accordance with perfect virtue, we must consider the nature 23 I, 13 | must consider the nature of virtue; for perhaps we shall thus 24 I, 13 | thought to have studied virtue above all things; for he 25 I, 13 | original plan. But clearly the virtue we must study is human virtue; 26 I, 13 | virtue we must study is human virtue; for the good we were seeking 27 I, 13 | human happiness. By human virtue we mean not that of the 28 I, 13 | as one does one's father.~Virtue too is distinguished into 29 II, 1 | 1~VIRTUE, then, being of two kinds, 30 II, 1 | and moral, intellectual virtue in the main owes both its 31 II, 1 | experience and time), while moral virtue comes about as a result 32 II, 1 | the same means that every virtue is both produced and destroyed, 33 II, 2 | not in order to know what virtue is, but in order to become 34 II, 3 | pain, for this reason also virtue will be concerned with pleasures 35 II, 3 | facts also may show us that virtue and vice are concerned with 36 II, 3 | phrase’, but both art and virtue are always concerned with 37 II, 3 | the whole concern both of virtue and of political science 38 II, 3 | uses them badly bad.~That virtue, then, is concerned with 39 II, 5 | Next we must consider what virtue is. Since things that are 40 II, 5 | faculties, states of character, virtue must be one of these. By 41 II, 5 | faculties the things in virtue of which we are said to 42 II, 5 | character the things in virtue of which we stand well or 43 II, 5 | Thus we have stated what virtue is in respect of its genus.~ 44 II, 6 | however, not only describe virtue as a state of character, 45 II, 6 | remark, then, that every virtue or excellence both brings 46 II, 6 | true in every case, the virtue of man also will be the 47 II, 6 | of the specific nature of virtue. In everything that is continuous 48 II, 6 | work), and if, further, virtue is more exact and better 49 II, 6 | as nature also is, then virtue must have the quality of 50 II, 6 | intermediate. I mean moral virtue; for it is this that is 51 II, 6 | this is characteristic of virtue. Similarly with regard to 52 II, 6 | and the intermediate. Now virtue is concerned with passions 53 II, 6 | both characteristics of virtue. Therefore virtue is a kind 54 II, 6 | characteristics of virtue. Therefore virtue is a kind of mean, since, 55 II, 6 | of vice, and the mean of virtue;~For men are good in but 56 II, 6 | way, but bad in many.~ ~Virtue, then, is a state of character 57 II, 6 | passions and actions, while virtue both finds and chooses that 58 II, 6 | which states its essence virtue is a mean, with regard to 59 II, 7 | passions; since shame is not a virtue, and yet praise is extended 60 II, 8 | respectively, and one a virtue, viz. the mean, and all 61 II, 9 | 9~That moral virtue is a mean, then, and in 62 III, 1 | 1~SINCE virtue is concerned with passions 63 III, 1 | are studying the nature of virtue, and useful also for legislators 64 III, 1 | is called involuntary in virtue of ignorance of this sort 65 III, 2 | most closely bound up with virtue and to discriminate characters 66 III, 5 | concerned with means. Therefore virtue also is in our own power, 67 III, 5 | is true, then, how will virtue be more voluntary than vice? 68 III, 5 | adopts the means voluntarily virtue is voluntary, vice also 69 III, 6 | the word to him also in virtue of a similarity; for some 70 III, 7 | for this is the end of virtue. But it is possible to fear 71 III, 8 | earlier, because it is due to virtue; for it is due to shame 72 III, 9 | more he is possessed of virtue in its entirety and the 73 IV, 1 | best by the man who has the virtue concerned with it; riches, 74 IV, 1 | best by the man who has the virtue concerned with wealth; and 75 IV, 1 | is more characteristic of virtue to do good than to have 76 IV, 1 | right sources. For, the virtue being a mean with regard 77 IV, 1 | ought; for it is the mark of virtue both to be pleased and to 78 IV, 2 | this also seems to be a virtue concerned with wealth; but 79 IV, 3 | And greatness in every virtue would seem to be characteristic 80 IV, 3 | for honour is the prize of virtue, and it is to the good that 81 IV, 3 | that is worthy of perfect virtue, yet he will at any rate 82 IV, 3 | honour. But those who without virtue have such goods are neither 83 IV, 3 | these things imply perfect virtue. Disdainful and insolent, 84 IV, 3 | goods become. For without virtue it is not easy to bear gracefully 85 IV, 4 | remarks on the subject, a virtue which would appear to be 86 IV, 5 | is praiseworthy—that in virtue of which we are angry with 87 IV, 6 | state is laudable—that in virtue of which a man will put 88 IV, 7 | would belong to another virtue), but the man who in the 89 IV, 7 | the purpose; for it is in virtue of his state of character 90 IV, 9 | should not be described as a virtue; for it is more like a feeling 91 IV, 9 | actions. Continence too is not virtue, but a mixed sort of state; 92 V, 1 | justice, then, is complete virtue, but not absolutely, but 93 V, 1 | proverbially "in justice is every virtue comprehended". And it is 94 V, 1 | comprehended". And it is complete virtue in its fullest sense, because 95 V, 1 | actual exercise of complete virtue. It is complete because 96 V, 1 | possesses it can exercise his virtue not only in himself but 97 V, 1 | for many men can exercise virtue in their own affairs, but 98 V, 1 | not he who exercises his virtue towards himself but he who 99 V, 1 | sense, then, is not part of virtue but virtue entire, nor is 100 V, 1 | is not part of virtue but virtue entire, nor is the contrary 101 V, 1 | the difference is between virtue and justice in this sense 102 V, 1 | state without qualification, virtue.~ 103 V, 2 | justice which is a part of virtue; for there is a justice 104 V, 2 | one which is distinct from virtue entire; we must try to grasp 105 V, 2 | answers to the whole of virtue, and the corresponding injustice, 106 V, 2 | one being the exercise of virtue as a whole, and the other 107 V, 2 | from the point of view of virtue taken as a whole; for the 108 V, 2 | law bids us practise every virtue and forbids us to practise 109 V, 2 | things that tend to produce virtue taken as a whole are those 110 V, 5 | And justice is that in virtue of which the just man is 111 V, 7 | things which are just by virtue of convention and expediency 112 V, 11 | acts in accordance with any virtue which are prescribed by 113 V, 11 | Metaphorically and in virtue of a certain resemblance 114 VI, 1 | in kind, since it is in virtue of a certain likeness and 115 VI, 1 | two parts; for this is the virtue of each.~ 116 VI, 2 | 2~The virtue of a thing is relative to 117 VI, 2 | desire; so that since moral virtue is a state of character 118 VI, 3 | assumed that the states by virtue of which the soul possesses 119 VI, 5 | then, practical wisdom is a virtue and not an art. There being 120 VI, 5 | reasoning, it must be the virtue of one of the two, i.e. 121 VI, 9 | deliberation this state in virtue of which one attains what 122 VI, 10 | goodness of understanding, in virtue of which men are said to 123 VI, 10 | name "understanding" in virtue of which men are said to 124 VI, 11 | is called judgement, in virtue of which men are said to " 125 VI, 11 | have said that each is the virtue of a different part of the 126 VI, 12 | use to those who have not virtue; for it will make no difference 127 VI, 12 | happiness; for, being a part of virtue entire, by being possessed 128 VI, 12 | wisdom as well as with moral virtue; for virtue makes us aim 129 VI, 12 | as with moral virtue; for virtue makes us aim at the right 130 VI, 12 | nutritive-there is no such virtue; for there is nothing which 131 VI, 12 | the acts themselves. Now virtue makes the choice right, 132 VI, 12 | our choice belongs not to virtue but to another faculty. 133 VI, 12 | state not without the aid of virtue, as has been said and is 134 VI, 13 | must therefore consider virtue also once more; for virtue 135 VI, 13 | virtue also once more; for virtue too is similarly related; 136 VI, 13 | but like it-so is natural virtue to virtue in the strict 137 VI, 13 | it-so is natural virtue to virtue in the strict sense. For 138 VI, 13 | what it was, will then be virtue in the strict sense. Therefore, 139 VI, 13 | there are two types, natural virtue and virtue in the strict 140 VI, 13 | types, natural virtue and virtue in the strict sense, and 141 VI, 13 | all men, when they define virtue, after naming the state 142 VI, 13 | that this kind of state is virtue, viz. that which is in accordance 143 VI, 13 | the right rule, that is virtue; and practical wisdom is 144 VI, 13 | practically wise without moral virtue. But in this way we may 145 VI, 13 | needed it because it is the virtue of the part of us in question; 146 VI, 13 | wisdom any more than without virtue; for the one deter, mines 147 VII, 1 | are evident,-one we call virtue, the other continence; to 148 VII, 1 | fitting to oppose superhuman virtue, a heroic and divine kind 149 VII, 1 | heroic and divine kind of virtue, as Homer has represented 150 VII, 1 | become gods by excess of virtue, of this kind must evidently 151 VII, 1 | as a brute has no vice or virtue, so neither has a god; his 152 VII, 1 | his state is higher than virtue, and that of a brute is 153 VII, 1 | neither as identical with virtue or wickedness, nor as a 154 VII, 2 | coupled with incontinence is virtue; for a man does the opposite 155 VII, 4 | apply the term to anger by virtue of a resemblance; and this 156 VII, 8 | while the latter is not. For virtue and vice respectively preserve 157 VII, 11 | we lay it down that moral virtue and vice are concerned with 158 VII, 14 | and the bad man is bad by virtue of pursuing the excess, 159 VII, 14 | pursuing the excess, not by virtue of pursuing the necessary 160 VIII, 1 | naturally follow, since it is a virtue or implies virtue, and is 161 VIII, 1 | it is a virtue or implies virtue, and is besides most necessary 162 VIII, 3 | other for themselves but in virtue of some good which they 163 VIII, 3 | who are good, and alike in virtue; for these wish well alike 164 VIII, 3 | we have named belong in virtue of the nature of the friends 165 VIII, 4 | other kinds; for it is in virtue of something good and something 166 VIII, 4 | their own sake, i.e. in virtue of their goodness. These, 167 VIII, 6 | pleasantness is accompanied by virtue nor those whose utility 168 VIII, 6 | he is surpassed also in virtue; if this is not so, he does 169 VIII, 6 | likeness to the friendship of virtue that they seem to be friendships ( 170 VIII, 6 | belong to the friendship of virtue as well); while it is because 171 VIII, 6 | because the friendship of virtue is proof against slander 172 VIII, 6 | unlikeness to the friendship of virtue.~ 173 VIII, 7 | wife to husband. For the virtue and the function of each 174 VIII, 7 | great interval in respect of virtue or vice or wealth or anything 175 VIII, 8 | to be the characteristic virtue of friends, so that it is 176 VIII, 8 | of those who are like in virtue; for being steadfast in 177 VIII, 10| worth, and not ruling in virtue of his superiority. Sometimes, 178 VIII, 10| so their rule is not in virtue of excellence but due to 179 VIII, 11| it is in accordance with virtue the better gets more of 180 VIII, 12| for their issue are by virtue of their separate existence 181 VIII, 12| together or farther apart by virtue of the nearness or distance 182 VIII, 12| friendship may be based also on virtue, if the parties are good; 183 VIII, 12| good; for each has its own virtue and they will delight in 184 VIII, 13| an equality and others by virtue of a superiority (for not 185 VIII, 13| friends on the ground of virtue are anxious to do well by 186 VIII, 13| since that is a mark of virtue and of friendship), and 187 VIII, 13| In friendships based on virtue on the other hand, complaints 188 VIII, 13| the essential element of virtue and character.~ 189 VIII, 14| for honour is the prize of virtue and of beneficence, while 190 VIII, 14| in respect of wealth or virtue must give honour in return, 191 IX, 1 | nature of the friendship of virtue), and the return to them 192 IX, 1 | thing in a friend and in virtue). And so too, it seems, 193 IX, 2 | nearness of relation and to virtue or usefulness. The comparison 194 IX, 3 | and far outstripped him in virtue, should the latter treat 195 IX, 4 | they think themselves good; virtue and the good man seem, as 196 IX, 4 | especially the element by virtue of which he thinks.
