"Children and brutes pursue Pleasures."

One answer will do for all.

We have already said in what sense all Pleasures are good per se

and in what sense not all are good: it is the latter class that

brutes and children pursue, such as are accompanied by desire and

pain, that is the bodily Pleasures (which answer to this

description) and the excesses of them: in short, those in respect

of which the man utterly destitute of Self-Control is thus

utterly destitute. And it is the absence of the pain arising from

these Pleasures that the man of Practical Wisdom aims at. It

follows that these Pleasures are what the man of Perfected

Self-Mastery avoids: for obviously he has Pleasures peculiarly

his own.

Then again, it is allowed that Pain is an evil and a thing to be

avoided partly as bad per se, partly as being a hindrance in some

particular way. Now the contrary of that which is to be avoided,

qua it is to be avoided, i.e. evil, is good. Pleasure then must

be a good.
