Examples

  • διά τε δὴ ταῦτα μεριστὴ προσηγορεύθη καὶ ὅτι τῷ αἰσθητῷ τὸ αἰσθανόμενον καὶ τῷ φανταστῷ τὸ φανταζόμενον ἀνάγκη συνδιανέμεσθαι καὶ συμπαρήκειν ἡ γὰρ αἰσθητικὴ κίνησισ ἰδία ψυχῆσ οὖσα κινεῖται πρὸσ τὸ αἰσθητὸν ἐκτόσ· (Plutarch, Compendium libri de animae procreatione in Timaeo, section 5 1:2)
  • διαφέρει δ’ οὐδὲν οὔτ’ εἰ μεριστὴ ἡ ψυχὴ οὔτ’ εἰ ἀμερήσ, ἔχει μέντοι δυνάμεισ διαφόρουσ καὶ τὰσ εἰρημένασ, ὥσπερ ἐν τῷ καμπύλῳ τὸ κοῖλον καὶ τὸ κυρτὸν ἀδιαχώριστον, καὶ τὸ εὐθὺ καὶ τὸ λευκόν· (Aristotle, Eudemian Ethics, Book 2 28:2)
  • εἰλημμένων δὲ τούτων, μετὰ ταῦτα λεκτέον ὅτι ἐπειδὴ δύο μέρη τῆσ ψυχῆσ, καὶ αἱ ἀρεταὶ κατὰ ταῦτα διῄρηνται, καὶ αἱ μὲν τοῦ λόγον ἔχοντοσ διανοητικαί, ὧν ἔργον ἀλήθεια, ἢ περὶ τοῦ πῶσ ἔχει ἢ περὶ γενέσεωσ, αἱ δὲ τοῦ ἀλόγου, ἔχοντοσ δ’ ὄρεξιν οὐ γὰρ ὁτιοῦν μέροσ ἔχει τῆσ ψυχῆσ ὄρεξιν, εἰ μεριστὴ ἐστίν, ἀνάγκη δὴ φαῦλον τὸ ἦθοσ καὶ σπουδαῖον εἶναι τῷ διώκειν καὶ φεύγειν ἡδονάσ τινασ καὶ λύπασ. (Aristotle, Eudemian Ethics, Book 2 73:1)
