[42] According to Aristotle's analysis, three kinds of things come to be present in the soul that virtue is: a feeling (pathos), an inborn predisposition or capacity (dunamis), or a stable disposition that has been acquired (hexis). seeks material satisfaction for bodily urges, and because money better might be prevented by unfortunate circumstances from the sorts of Di Wikipedia ini, pranala bahasa terletak di bagian atas halaman di sebelah judul artikel. education is most often noted for its carefully censored reading city first developed without full explicitness in Books Two through Aristotle even specifically mentions Socrates as an example, but at the same time mentions (continuing the theme) that the less excessive vice is often less blameworthy.
