Necessity is involuntary i guess

Laeserin 1y ago

It is not an objective measure.

We can refuse to do necessary things.

That's not the point. Aristotle said men do something they think is good or pleasant. It's good to clean your toilet, but it comes from necessity not pleasure.

Right?

That would be "removing that which seems evil". In this case, germs.

I think not, because in that case good equals pleasure and Aristotle would not have to distinguish good and pleasure cases. So i fuck because that gives me pleasure, i clean the toilet because it's good.

One can argue that everything is involuntary: one cause and all effects. In the realm of man: no man creates himself nor instils passion within and guidance beyond.

Well, yes, as a theology.
