E4P60

Proposition — Part IV

Latin

Cupiditas quæ oritur ex lætitia vel tristitia quæ ad unam vel ad aliquot, non autem ad omnes corporis partes refertur, rationem utilitatis totius hominis non habet.

English (Elwes 1883)

Desire arising from a pleasure or pain, that is not attributable to the whole body, but only to one or certain parts thereof, is without utility in respect to a man as a whole.

Modern English

Desire arising from a joy or sadness that pertains to one or only some parts of the body, rather than to the whole body, takes no account of the utility of the whole person.
