Now since the study of contraries pertains to one and the same science, and each contrary is so called in virtue of privation (although indeed one might wonder in what sense they can be called contraries in virtue of privation when they admit of a middle term—e.g. unjust and just), in all such cases we must regard the privation as being not of the whole definition but of the ultimate species. E.g., if the just man is one who is obedient to the laws in virtue of some volitional state, the unjust man will not be entirely deprived of the whole definition, but will be one who is in some respect deficient in obedience to the laws; and it is in this respect that the privation of justice will apply to him (and the same holds good in all other cases).
