Manliness, Mansfield tells us in his book with that title, refers to the "spirited" (thumotic) part of the soul that Plato was very careful to distinguish from the soul's rational and desiring parts.
So the fact of manliness is one reason we can turn to Plato to remember that we're not minds or bodies or even a mixture of the two. We human beings are some third entity that refuses to be reduced to either mind or body.
