Adler number: phi,412

Vetting Status: high
Translation: Another self.[1] Of those things that are good and able to be chosen, some are chosen for their own sake, like happiness and as many things as are valuable, and some on account of something else, such as advancing [one's position], gymnastic training, and making a profit. Whatever is chosen is chosen for its own sake or on account of something else: for we choose them both for their own sake and on account of happiness. And we choose health for its own sake, but we choose gymnastic training on account of health: note that health is more worth choosing than gymnastic training. And if we choose a friend as [we choose] ourselves -- if indeed a friend is a second self -- and money for their sake, mark that a friend is more worth choosing than money. And each man [seems] to himself to be worth choosing, so a friend is also. But being awake is also more worth choosing than sleep, if sleep is a means of recovering from being awake: for in order to be able to be awake, we need sleep and relaxation. Thus it would seem that philosophy is more worth choosing than rhetoric.
