Dictionnaire Français-Anglais > valoir

20 animus

ănĭmus, i, m. [a Graeco-Italic form of anemos = wind (as ego, lego, of ego, lego); cf. Sanscr. an = to breathe, anas = breath, anilas = wind; Goth. uz-ana = exspiro; Erse, anal = breath; Germ. Unst = a storm (so, sometimes); but Curt. does not extend the connection to AФ, aêmi = to blow; a modification of animus—by making which the Romans took a step in advance of the Greeks, who used hê psuchê for both these ideas—is anima, which has the physical meaning of anemos, so that Cic. was theoretically right, but historically wrong, when he said, ipse animus ab anima dictus est, Tusc. 1, 9, 19; after the same analogy we have from psuchô = to breathe, blow, psuchê = breath, life, soul; from pneô = to breathe, pneuma = air, breath, life, in class. Greek, and = spirit, a spiritual being, in Hellenistic Greek; from spiro = to breathe, blow, spiritus = breath, breeze, energy, high spirit, and poet. and post-Aug. = soul, mind; the Engl. ghost = Germ. Geist may be comp. with Germ. giessen and cheô, to pour, and for this interchange of the ideas of gases and liquids, cf. Sol. 22: insula adspiratur freto Gallico, is flowed upon, washed, by the Gallic Strait; the Sanscr. atman = breath, soul, with which comp. aytmê = breath; Germ. Odem = breath, and Athem = breath, soul, with which group Curt. connects auô, aêmi; the Heb. = breath, life, soul; and = breath, wind, life, spirit, soul or mind].
I.
In a general sense, the rational soul in man (in opp. to the body, corpus, and to the physical life, anima), hê psuchê:
humanus animus decerptus ex mente divina,
Cic. Tusc. 5, 13, 38:
Corpus animum praegravat, Atque affixit humo divinae particulam aurae,
Hor. S. 2, 2, 77:
credo deos immortales sparsisse animos in corpora humana, ut essent qui terras tuerentur etc.,

Aristides primus animum pinxit et sensus hominis expressit, quae vocantur Graece ethe, item perturbationes,
first painted the soul, put a soul into his figures, Plin. 35, 10, 36, § 98 (cf.:
animosa signa,
life-like statues, Prop. 4, 8, 9): si nihil esset in eo (animo), nisi id, ut per eum viveremus, i. e. were it mere anima, Cic. Tusc. 1, 24, 56:
Singularis est quaedam natura atque vis animi, sejuncta ab his usitatis notisque naturis, i. e. the four material elements,
id. ib. 1, 27, 66: Neque nos corpora sumus. Cum igitur nosce te dicit, hoc dicit, nosce animum tuum, id. ib. 1, 22, 52:

aeternitas animorum,
id. ib. 1, 17, 39; 1, 22, 50 (for the plur. animorum, in this phrase, cf. Cic. Sen. 23, 84); for the atheistic notions about the soul, v. Lucr. bk. iii.—
II.
In a more restricted sense, the mind as thinking, feeling, willing, the intellect, the sensibility, and the will, acc. to the almost universally received division of the mental powers since the time of Kant (Diog. Laert. 8, 30, says that Pythagoras divided hê psuchê into ho nous, hai phrenes, and ho thumos; and that man had ho nous and ho thumos in common with other animals, but he alone had hai phrenes. Here ho nous and ho thumos must denote the understanding and the sensibility, and hai phrenes, the reason. Plutarch de Placit. 4, 21, says that the Stoics called the supreme faculty of the mind (to hêgemonikon tês psuchês) ho logismos, reason. Cic. sometimes speaks of a twofold division; as, Est animus in partes tributus duas, quarum altera rationis est particeps, altera expers (i. e. to logistikon and to alogon of Plato; cf. Tert. Anim. 16), i. e. the reason or intellect and the sensibility, Tusc. 2, 21, 47; so id. Off. 1, 28, 101; 1, 36, 132; id. Tusc 4, 5, 10; and again of a threefold; as, Plato triplicem finxit animum, cujus principatum, id est rationem in capite sicut in arce posuit, et duas partes ( the two other parts) ei parere voluit, iram et cupiditatem, quas locis disclusit; iram in pectore, cupiditatem subter praecordia locavit, i. e. the reason or intellect, and the sensibility here resolved into desire and aversion, id. ib. 1, 10, 20; so id. Ac. 2, 39, 124. The will, hê boulêsis, voluntas, arbitrium, seems to have been sometimes merged in the sensibility, ho thumos, animus, animi, sensus, and sometimes identified with the intellect or reason, ho nous, ho logismos, mens, ratio).
A.
1.. The general power of perception and thought, the reason, intellect, mind (syn.: mens, ratio, ingenium), ho nous:
cogito cum meo animo,
Plaut. Most. 3, 2, 13; so Ter. Ad. 3, 4, 55:
cum animis vestris cogitare,
Cic. Agr. 2, 24:
recordari cum animo,
id. Clu. 25, 70;
and without cum: animo meditari,
Nep. Ages. 4, 1; cf. id. Ham. 4, 2:
cogitare volvereque animo,
Suet. Vesp. 5:
animo cogitare,
Vulg. Eccli. 37, 9:
statuere apud animum,
Liv. 34, 2:
proposui in animo meo,
Vulg. Eccli. 1, 12:
nisi me animus fallit, hi sunt, etc.,
Plaut. Men. 5, 9, 23:
in dubio est animus,
Ter. And. 1, 5, 31; id. ib. prol. 1; cf. id. ib. 1, 1, 29:
animum ad se ipsum advocamus,
Cic. Tusc. 1, 31, 75:
lumen animi, ingenii consiliique tui,
id. Rep. 6, 12 al. —
For the sake of rhet. fulness, animus often has a synonym joined with it: Mens et animus et consilium et sententia civitatis posita est in legibus,
Cic. Clu. 146:
magnam cui mentem animumque Delius inspirat vates,
Verg. A. 6, 11:
complecti animo et cogitatione,
Cic. Off. 1, 32, 117; id. de Or. 1, 2, 6:
animis et cogitatione comprehendere,
id. Fl. 27, 66:
cum omnia ratione animoque lustraris,
id. Off. 1, 17, 56:
animorum ingeniorumque naturale quoddam quasi pabulum consideratio naturae,
id. Ac. 2, 41, 127.—Hence the expressions: agitatio animi, attentio, contentio; animi adversio; applicatio animi; judicium, opinio animorum, etc. (v. these vv.); and animum advertere, adjungere, adplicare, adpellere, inducere, etc. (v. these vv.).—
2.
Of particular faculties of mind, the memory:
etiam nunc mihi Scripta illa dicta sunt in animo Chrysidis,
Ter. And. 1, 5, 46:
An imprimi, quasi ceram, animum putamus etc. (an idea of Aristotle's),
Cic. Tusc. 1, 25, 61:
ex animo effluere,
id. de Or. 2, 74, 300: omnia fert aetas, animum quoque;
... Nunc oblita mihi tot carmina,
Verg. E. 9, 51.—
3.
Consciousness (physically considered) or the vital power, on which consciousness depends ( = conscientia, q. v. II. A., or anima, q. v. II. E.):
vae miserae mihi. Animo malest: aquam velim,
I'm fainting, my wits are going, Plaut. Am. 5, 1, 6; id. Curc. 2, 3, 33:
reliquit animus Sextium gravibus acceptis vulneribus,
Caes. B. G. 6, 38:
Una eademque via sanguis animusque sequuntur,
Verg. A. 10, 487:
animusque reliquit euntem,
Ov. M. 10, 459:
nisi si timor abstulit omnem Sensum animumque,
id. ib. 14, 177:
linqui deinde animo et submitti genu coepit,
Curt. 4, 6, 20: repente animo linqui solebat, Suet. Caes. 45:
ad recreandos defectos animo puleio,
Plin. 20, 14, 54, § 152.—
4.
The conscience, in mal. part. (v. conscientia, II. B. 2. b.):
cum conscius ipse animus se remordet,
Lucr. 4, 1135:
quos conscius animus exagitabat,
Sall. C. 14, 3:
suae malae cogitationes conscientiaeque animi terrent,
Cic. Sex. Rosc. 67.—
5.
In Plaut. very freq., and once also in Cic., meton. for judicium, sententia, opinion, judgment; mostly meo quidem animo or meo animo, according to my mind, in my opinion, Plaut. Men. 1, 3, 17:
e meo quidem animo aliquanto facias rectius, si, etc.,
id. Aul. 3, 6, 3:
meo quidem animo, hic tibi hodie evenit bonus,
id. Bacch. 1, 1, 69; so id. Aul. 3, 5, 4; id. Curc. 4, 2, 28; id. Bacch. 3, 2, 10; id. Ep. 1, 2, 8; id. Poen. 1, 2, 23; id. Rud. 4, 4, 94; Cic. Sest. 22:
edepol lenones meo animo novisti,
Plaut. Curc. 4, 2, 19:
nisi, ut meus est animus, fieri non posse arbitror,
id. Cist. 1, 1, 5 (cf.:
EX MEI ANIMI SENTENTIA,
Inscr. Orell. 3665:
ex animi tui sententia,
Cic. Off. 3, 29, 108).—
6.
The imagination, the fancy (for which Cic. often uses cogitatio, as Ac. 2, 15, 48):
cerno animo sepultam patriam, miseros atque insepultos acervos civium,
Cic. Cat. 4, 6, 11:
fingere animo jubebat aliquem etc.,
id. Sen. 12, 41: Fingite animis;
litterae enim sunt cogitationes nostrae, et quae volunt, sic intuentur, ut ea cernimus, quae videmus,
id. Mil. 29, 79:
Nihil animo videre poterant,
id. Tusc. 1, 16, 38.—
B.
The power of feeling, the sensibility, the heart, the feelings, affections, inclinations, disposition, passions (either honorable or base; syn.: sensus, adfectus, pectus, cor), ho thumos.
1.
a.. In gen., heart, soul, spirit, feeling, inclination, affection, passion: Medea, animo aegra, amore saevo saucia, Enn. ap. Auct. ad Her. 2, 22 (cf. Plaut. Truc. 2, 7, 36:
