acrimonious bad-tempered cantankerous choleric edgy even-tempered excitable grouchy Hot-livered hot-tempered hotheaded ill-tempered impatient Irous irritable overheated pugnacious quarrelsome querulous | So too the poet, in representing men who are irascible or indolent, or have other defects of character, should preserve the type and yet ennoble it. The principles of definition, the law of contradiction, the fallacy of arguing in a circle, the distinction between the essence and accidents of a thing or notion, between means and ends, between causes and conditions; also the division of the mind into the rational, concupiscent, and irascible elements, or of pleasures and desires into necessary and unnecessary-- these and other great forms of thought are all of them to be found in the Republic, and were probably first invented by Plato. Black George was, in the main, a peaceable kind of fellow, and nothing choleric nor rash; yet did he bear about him something of what the antients called the irascible, and which his wife, if she had been endowed with much wisdom, would have feared. |
