But because of the resemblance of the affection to the
Imperfection of Self-Control the term is used with the addition
in each case of the particular object-matter, just as men call a
man a bad physician, or bad actor, whom they would not think of
calling simply bad. As then in these cases we do not apply the
term simply because each of the states is not a vice, but only
like a vice in the way of analogy,[12] so it is plain that in
respect of Imperfect Self-Control and Self-Control we must limit
the names to those states which have the same object-matter as
Perfected Self-Mastery and utter loss of Self-Control, and that
we do apply it to the case of anger only in the way of
resemblance: for which reason, with an addition, we designate a
man of Imperfect Self-Control in respect of anger, as of honour
or of gain.
