Now if acting unjustly is simply "hurting another voluntarily"

(by which I mean, knowing whom you are hurting, and wherewith,

and how you are hurting him), and the man who fails of

self-control voluntarily hurts himself, then this will be a case

of being voluntarily dealt unjustly with, and it will be possible

for a man to deal unjustly with himself. (This by the way is one

of the questions raised, whether it is possible for a man to deal

unjustly with himself.) Or again, a man may, by reason of failing

of self-control, receive hurt from another man acting

voluntarily, and so here will be another case of being unjustly

dealt with voluntarily.

The solution, I take it, is this: the definition of being

unjustly dealt with is not correct, but we must add, to the

hurting with the knowledge of the person hurt and the instrument

and the manner of hurting him, the fact of its being against the

wish of the man who is hurt.
