It seems to me that to these three principles three pleasures correspond; also three desires and governing powers.
How do you mean? he said.
There is one principle with which, as we were saying, a man learns, another with which he is angry; the third, [E]having many forms, has no special name, but is denoted by the general term appetitive, from the extraordinary strength and vehemence of the desires of eating and drinking and the other sensual appetites which are the main elements of it; [581]also money-loving, because such desires are generally satisfied by the help of money.
That is true, he said.
(1) The appetitive: If we were to say that the loves and pleasures of this third part were concerned with gain, we should then be 292 able to fall back on a single notion; and might truly and intelligibly describe this part of the soul as loving gain or money.
I agree with you.
Again, is not the passionate element wholly set on ruling and conquering and getting fame?
[B] True.
(2) The ambitious; Suppose we call it the contentious or ambitious—would the term be suitable?
Extremely suitable.
