Document Summary
26d: #3 = the 3rd kind , limits/balance = measures, a just/well-ordered city (e. g. , of the mixture ) Nothing that is unlimited is good in and of itself. It"s only through reason and balance that it becomes good: reason ultimately frames the pleasures, objective theory, pleasures can be good and bad; can be experienced in good or bad ways. *reason is needed to pick the objectivity good states. Pleasure is a conscious, psychic process produced by the restoration of a natural harmony: you need to be aware of this in order to experience the pleasure. *note: no restriction on type of pleasure (i. e. , not just physical or intellectual: 31e gives e. g. of hunger, pain = hunger = disintegration, pleasure = eating = restoration, seems to give only physical pleasures as examples. Is this implying a level of conscience: e. g. , you get sick long before you are aware of it.
