pleonexia การใช้

Often, Aristotle observes, these acts are caused by over-reaching or greed ( " pleonexia " ) and are ascribed to injustice.
Thrasymachus, in Book I of " The Republic ", presents pleonexia as a natural state, upon which justice is an unnatural restraint.
William Barclay describes pleonexia as an " accursed love of having ", which " will pursue its own interests with complete disregard for the rights of others, and even for the considerations of common humanity ".
Young, however argues that the simple involvement of unfairness in the desire for gaining ever more is what defines pleonexia, rather than that the desire itself be for gaining ever more in a manner that is specifically unfair.
In discussing the philosophy of Aristotle, who insisted in his " Nicomachean Ethics " that all specifically unjust actions are motivated by pleonexia, Kraut discusses pleonexia and equates it to epichairekakia, the Greek version of schadenfreude, stating that inherent in pleonexia is the appeal of acting unjustly at the expense of others.
