_Ethics_, III. 59, Schol. (in footnote on preceding passage) ('Omnes actiones'). 'All the actions which follow from the affects which are related to the mind, in so far as it thinks, I ascribe to _fortitude_, which I divide into _strength of mind_ and _generosity_. By _strength of mind_ I mean the desire by which each person endeavours, from the dictates of reason alone, to preserve his own being. By _generosity_ I mean the desire by which, from the dictates of reason alone, each person endeavours to help other people and to join them to him in friendship.' ('Quae maxime'). 'Which is mainly coextensive with reason, the true virtue and life of the mind.' ('Quod multitudo libera'). [An authority which] 'a free plurality institutes, not one which is acquired against the plurality by the right of war.' Sect. 36. 'Suum esse conservare' = 'to preserve his own being.' 'Homini nihil' = 'nothing is more useful to man, than man.' 'Homo namque.' See on sect. 32. 'Constans voluntas.' See on sect. 35. 'Vitam concorditer transigere' = 'to live in harmony.' Footnote on 'Libera multitudo,' II. 11 ('Hominem eatenus'). 'The sense in which at all I call a man _free_ is in so far as he is guided by reason; because thus far he is determined to action by causes which can be adequately understood out of his nature alone, although by them he be necessarily determined to action. For freedom of action does not deny but affirms necessity.' On Sect. 37. II. 15 ('Jus naturae'). See on sect. 32. On Sect. 39. πόλις (polis) = state, including much that we mean by 'society.' τέλος (telos) = end, aim, final cause. πολίτης (polites) = citizen. φύσει πολιτικός (phusei politikos) = social, or civic, by nature. πολίτης μετέχει τοῦ ἄρχειν καὶ τοῦ ἄρχεσθαι (polites metechei) 'The citizen takes his share both in governing and in being governed.'
