(rare) Relating to the nature of concupiscence or lust; concupiscible..
We shall then not be wrong if we say that there are two different principles: the one that by which the man reasons, which we may call the rational part of the soul; and the other, by which he hungers and thirsts, and feels other desires, which we may call the concupitive part.
Now, the subject of the passions of the soul is the concupitive power of the soul, and is divided into that concupiscible and that irascible, and both respect good and bad, but under a different notion.
