Aristotle's Proposition on Ethical VirtueDespite the fact that Aristotle was a companion and scholar of Plato, he did not agree with Plato's speculations on ethical quality. Like other Greeks, Aristotle did not trust the presence of inalienably terrible practices. A conduct cannot be great or insidious, yet an individual can have great or horrible qualities of character. Aristotle said that all individuals arise from a consolidation of bad habits (horrible qualities of character) and ideals (great characteristics of character). He uses this idea to illustrate the postulate: virtue is behavior linked to decision. This is demonstrated in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. On the other hand, the proposition cannot be understood without understanding what precisely a tune is. Aristotle accepted that behaviors are one of three aggregates of things that make up the mind. Emotions and boundaries are the other two; they contrast with manners in that they are not inclined to react. A tune must be taken into account because of a circumstance. For example, we discover how to wear certain styles of clothing. In America, it is a norm for men to wear jeans; skirts and dresses are generally considered women's clothing. Men could wear dresses if they needed to, and they are physically able to do so, but most men choose not to. Most American men tend to wear pants. Since tunes are variable, we must make specific choices in given circumstances that we might not be able to make in other circumstances. Alternative segments of the mind do not vary in the same way. This is essential for Aristotle's postulate, because these decisions are made...... middle of paper ...... terrible character characteristics make no difference, because the activity itself is not moral. For my part, I accept that there are activities which, on the whole, are not correct. Homicide, infidelity and taking are all terrible practices. Going through Aristotle's postulate, I could have said that these things are intrinsically terrible. After reading through the Nicomachean Ethics, I thought about the topic and recognized many illustrations of cases where “horrible” practices are the right thing to do or the primary decision. The self-protection sample is one of them; another fantastic case could be that of a mother taking bread to encourage her crew. From a Christian perspective, I could say that there are some inherently horrible practices, but after looking at many cases where "terrible" conduct might be adequate, I agree with Aristotle's theory..
