  1. Jonathan Barnes _ Aristotle: A Very Short

    The doctrine of the mean {the epithet 'golden' is un-Aristotelian} regularly occurs in later writers as a piece of moral advice -- a recipe or rule reminding us to 'observe the mean', to be moderate in all things and to avoid excess and deciciency. {If the doctrine urges us not to drink too much wine, it equally urges us not to drink too little -- but that is something which the moralizers usually find it prudent to ignore.}"
