1 I, 1 | inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought 2 I, 1 | this and every military action under strategy, in the same 3 I, 3 | at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference 4 I, 4 | all goods achievable by action. Verbally there is very 5 I, 7 | something else, and in every action and pursuit the end; for 6 I, 7 | be the good achievable by action, and if there are more than 7 I, 7 | the goods achievable by action.~So the argument has by 8 I, 7 | self-sufficient, and is the end of action.~Presumably, however, to 9 I, 7 | performance of these, and if any action is well performed when it 10 I, 8 | sort of good life and good action. The characteristics that 11 I, 9 | everything that depends on the action of nature is by nature as 12 I, 10| will be engaged in virtuous action and contemplation, and he 13 II, 3 | every passion and every action is accompanied by pleasure 14 II, 4 | own sakes, and thirdly his action must proceed from a firm 15 II, 6 | an extreme.~But not every action nor every passion admits 16 II, 6 | cowardly, and voluptuous action there should be a mean, 17 III, 1 | power, and if one did the action they were to be saved, but 18 III, 1 | done, and the end of an action is relative to the occasion. 19 III, 1 | reference to the moment of action. Now the man acts voluntarily; 20 III, 1 | the least vexation at his action, has not acted voluntarily, 21 III, 1 | that causes involuntary action (it leads rather to wickedness), 22 III, 1 | the circumstances of the action and the objects with which 23 III, 1 | the circumstances of the action, and the man who was ignorant 24 III, 1 | the circumstances of the action and its end. Further, the 25 III, 1 | particular circumstances of the action. Presumably acts done by 26 III, 2 | animals share in voluntary action, but not in choice, and 27 III, 5 | training for any contest or action; they practise the activity 28 III, 7 | are keen in the moment of action, but quiet beforehand.~As 29 III, 8 | honours they win by such action; and therefore those peoples 30 IV, 5 | and at what point right action ceases and wrong begins. 31 IV, 6 | acquiescence in another’s action would bring disgrace, and 32 IV, 9 | as to do any disgraceful action. To be so constituted as 33 IV, 9 | disgraced if one does such an action, and for this reason to 34 V, 2 | the man who exhibits in action the other forms of wickedness 35 V, 2 | if a man makes gain, his action is ascribed to no form of 36 V, 3 | equal; for in any kind of action in which there’s a more 37 V, 4 | slain, the suffering and the action have been unequally distributed; 38 V, 5 | goods, and then reciprocal action takes place, the result 39 V, 5 | other, it is plain that just action is intermediate between 40 V, 6 | injustice there is also unjust action (though there is not injustice 41 V, 6 | between whom there is unjust action), and this is assigning 42 V, 7 | general term is rather "just action", and "act of justice" is 43 V, 8 | with regard to the whole action. Therefore that which is 44 V, 9 | involuntary, as all unjust action is voluntary? And is all 45 V, 9 | justly treated; all just action is voluntary, so that it 46 V, 9 | suffering as with acting. In action and in passivity alike it 47 V, 9 | distinction we applied to unjust action; for he suffers nothing 48 V, 9 | whom lies the origin of the action, and this lies in the distributor, 49 V, 11| person he is affecting by his action and the instrument he is 50 V, 11| person. Further, (ii) unjust action is voluntary and done by 51 V, 11| not all voluntary unjust action implies injustice as a state 52 VI, 2 | in the soul which control action and truth-sensation, reason, 53 VI, 2 | sensation originates no action; this is plain from the 54 VI, 2 | sensation but no share in action.~What affirmation and negation 55 VI, 2 | a moral state; for good action and its opposite cannot 56 VI, 2 | is done is that; for good action is an end, and desire aims 57 VI, 2 | desire, and such an origin of action is a man. (It is to be noted 58 VI, 5 | otherwise, not art because action and making are different 59 VI, 5 | an end other than itself, action cannot; for good action 60 VI, 5 | action cannot; for good action itself is its end. It is 61 VI, 5 | the originating cause of action.) Practical wisdom, then, 62 VI, 7 | can be brought about by action. The man who is without 63 VI, 7 | of things attainable by action. Nor is practical wisdom 64 VI, 7 | wisdom is concerned with action; therefore one should have 65 VI, 8 | wisdom"; this has to do with action and deliberation, for a 66 VI, 12| about the starting-points of action. Therefore it is evident 67 VI, 13| that makes a difference in action; and his state, while still 68 VII, 3 | answer to the question of action with and without knowledge, 69 VII, 14| are cured, through some action of the part that remains 70 VII, 14| those that stimulate the action of the healthy nature.~There 71 VII, 14| anything were simple, the same action would always be most pleasant 72 IX, 7 | wish the objects of their action to exist since they will 73 IX, 7 | noble which depends on his action, so that he delights in 74 IX, 7 | delights in the object of his action, whereas to the patient 75 IX, 8 | and one great and noble action to many trivial ones. Now 76 IX, 11| not demanded them; such action is nobler and pleasanter
