[Xmca-l] RES: Re: Habits (Greek: ethos)

[Maria Judith Sucupira da Costa Lins]

I agree, because habits for ethos is a constructo in polis, society. It is
not conditioned. We can translate for 'habitus' to make it different.

Sorry, can't keep my hands off this. "Ethos" in Greek is one of those
untranslatable words that bundles up a whole set of concepts without an
equivalent in English. It includes the idea of habits, habitually, but it is
not rght to say it *is* the Greek word for habit.

I'm not against us discussing habits at all; it just awoke the slumbering
classicist in me.
