Τὰ εἴδη τῆς ἡδονῆς

II.7.10c.3

Ἐπιχαιρεκακία δὲ ἡδονὴ ἐπ’ ἀλλοτρίοις κακοῖς· ἀσμενισμὸς δὲ ἡδονὴ ἐπὶ ἀπροσδοκήτοις· γοητεία δὲ ἡδονὴ δι’ ὄψεως κατὰ ἀπάτην.

Τὰ εἴδη τοῦ φόβου

II.7.10c.4

Ὄκνος δὲ φόβος μελλούσης ἐνεργείας· ἀγωνία δὲ φόβος διαπτώσεως καὶ ἑτέρως φόβος ἥττης· ἔκπληξις δὲ φόβος ἐξ ἀσυνήθους φαντασίας· αἰσχύνη δὲ φόβος ἀδοξίας· θόρυβος δὲ φόβος μετὰ φωνῆς κατεπείγων· δεισιδαιμονία δὲ φόβος θεῶν ἢ δαιμόνων· δέος δὲ φόβος δεινοῦ· δεῖμα δὲ φόβος ἐκ λόγου.
