Proposition IV
Оглавление"The Good depends upon the adaptation of faculties to circumstances.
"For, the Good is identical with the end (Def.); which results from the performance of function by each part of the organism (Axiom 6).
"But the function of each part is its adaptation to circumstances (Axioms 5, 6): Hence the Good depends upon the adaptation of faculties to circumstances.
"Corollary.—Since man is an organism composed of parts (Axiom 6), the whole good of man is the sum of the goods of his parts, and therefore depends upon the adaptation of all his parts to their corresponding circumstances.
