Pleonexia, sometimes called pleonexy, originating from the Greek πλεονεξια, is a philosophical concept in writings by Plato and Aristotle, employed also in the New Testament. It roughly corresponds to greed, covetousness, or avarice, and is strictly defined as "the insatiable
desire to have what rightfully belongs to others", suggesting what
Ritenbaugh describes as "ruthless self-seeking and an arrogant
assumption that others and things exist for one's own benefit.
