>What is contrary to a good thing is necessarily bad... But what is contrary to a bad thing is sometimes good but sometimes bad.
If you have a virtue then the negation is the only way to predicate opposition of it, but if you have an excess or a defect then you are supplied with an opposite concept in the corresponding excess or defect. Because good is a virtue you can only contradict it with not good, because cowardice is a defect you can oppose it with rashness. Since goodness and rashness is not one, they are not contraries, according to Aristotle. Since the negative judgment is merely a logical for what it is appended to remains singular, but there is also the infinite judgement of it.
