1.We claim that appetite is something that we have in common with the animals. We desire for various kinds of pleasure of the body just like the animals do. Food,drink and sex are the familiar items.
2.We also claim that intellect belongs exclusively to man. Animals have no share of this good thing. Some philosophers equate man without intellect with the animals. Intellect is supreme in Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.
3.Some people have now claimed that we have lately given too much priority to the satisfaction of our appetite. We have neglected our intellect and have left our intellect sufferring from starvation.
