勇敢乃是自信与害怕中间之道 Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence

One common view is that courage is simply overcoming one’s fear. Aristotle rejects this view.

Aristotle says that courage "is a mean with regard to feelings of fear (phobos) and confidence (tharsos)" (1115a5).

Aristotle says at 1115M5-19 that a courageous person not only fears rightly, but
also is confident about the right things, in the right way, and at the right time.
