_Ibid._ 21-27, and entire chaps., 8-11. For terms, cf. _infra_.
Footnote 602:
iv. 1121_a_29; 1122_a_14 f.; cf. the stress on δόσις and χρῆσις rather
than on κτῆσις and λῆψις, 1120_a_8-13; _b_14-16, and Stewart’s notes,
I, 323.
Footnote 603:
_Rep._ 552B, discussed above.
Footnote 604:
Souchon (_op. cit._, p. 121) seems to think it was.
Footnote 605:
_Pol._ 1258_b_8, but cf. p. 39 and _infra_ on this word τόκος. Cf.
also Ar. _Clouds_ 20; 1285 ff.; A. Smith, _op. cit._, II, chap. iv.
Footnote 606:
Souchon (_op. cit._, p. 97) is hardly fair to Aristotle on this point,
but cf. also p. 96, n. 1; cf. Ruskin, _Time and Tide_, XV, 81 (Vol.
XVII, 388); _Mun. Pul._, Pref., 21 (Vol. XVII, 144); _ibid._, VI, 139
(p. 264); _ibid._, 153 and note (p. 277), which cites _Laws_ 743C, on
the doctrine that the just are neither rich nor poor.
Footnote 607:
_Pol._ v (viii). 2. 1337_b_8-11. The terms for mechanical labor are
τέχνη, of ability through practice; δημιουργός, of one who works for
the people, rather than for himself or one other; βάναυσος, originally
of work by the fire, but later the common term for mechanical labor,
usually with a derogatory sense in the philosophers; cf. βαναυσία,
“vulgarity,” _N. Eth._ iv. 4. 1122_a_31; βάναυσος, “vulgar man,”
_ibid._ 1123_a_19; _Etymol. mag_; Schol. to Plato _Rep._ 495E; Pollux
i. 64. 50; Hesychius, _s.v._ The Greeks did not clearly distinguish
the finer from the mechanical arts; cf. Büchsenschütz, _op. cit._, p.
266; _Pol._ vi (iv). 4. 1291_a_1 ff., where all are included under
βάναυσον. Cf. Cope-Sandys, _Ar. Rhet._, 2d ed., I, 9, 27, note. Cf.
above, p. 33, n. 7, for Ruskin’s attitude.
Footnote 608:
_Pol._ 1337_b_12; 1258_b_37.
Footnote 609:
1337_b_13 f.
Footnote 610:
1258_b_38 f.
Footnote 611:
vii (vi). 4. 1319_a_26-28.
Footnote 612:
v (viii). 2. 1337_b_5-7.
Footnote 613:
iv (vii). 9. 1328_b_37-41; cf. iii. 5. 1277_b_33 ff.
Footnote 614:
1329_a_1; 1330_a_25-31.
Footnote 615:
1330_a_25-31; cf. also the pseudo-_Econ._ i. 2. 1343_a_26 ff.
Footnote 616:
i. 3. 1260_a_40 ff.; cf. _infra_ for discussion of this idea.
Footnote 617:
1258_b_25-27; _Rhet._ i. 9. 27, 1367_a_; ἐλευθέρον γὰρ τὸ μὴ πρὸς
ἄλλον ζῆν. His entire argument for the slave as a mere “instrument”
(cf. _infra_) shows the same attitude. Stewart (_op. cit._, II, 316)
says that he failed to see that labor is “an essential function of the
social organism, something καλόν and not merely ἁναγκαῖον.”
Footnote 618:
_Pol._ iv (vii). 4. 1326_a_22-24.
Footnote 619:
1328_b_19-23; vi (iv). 1291_a_1-3.
Footnote 620:
1329_a_1; i. 11. 1258_b_38 f.
Footnote 621:
v (viii). 2. 1337_b_15-22, especially 17 f.: ἔχει δὲ πολλὴν διαφορὰν
καὶ τὸ τίνος ἕνεκεν πράττει τις ἣ μανθάνει.
