Aristotle's Political Virtues

Aristotle's political virtue Summary: This article argues that Aristotle believes that happiness is not personal, primarily personal, but the use of virtue in the management of idealities, not exercise of virtue with friends I will. The best country is very tightly integrated, so my profit is the same as the benefit of everyone. Therefore, people acting for their own interests must also act for the benefit of all their compatriots. Therefore Aristotle's argument on altruism and egoism is wrong.

According to Aristotle, the arteto is a characteristic of thinking and personality that can help us achieve a better life. Virtue has two kinds of intellectual virtue and moral virtue. In Nicomachean Ethics, Bk 2, Aristotle focuses on moral virtue and personality traits. Aristotle believes that the list of virtues is not a miscellaneous collection, but a general rational explanation of virtue. He proposed this account in §§§ 5

In Nicole's ethics, Aristotle classifies virtues as moral and intellectual. Aristotle identified two virtues of wisdom, Sophia (wisdom theory) and practical wisdom (practical wisdom). Moral virtues include courage and temper. These two virtues explain Aristotle's average doctrine. Aristotle believes that all moral virtues are the average between the corresponding two vices (see the meaning of gold). For example, the virtue of courage is the average between two habits of recklessness and jealousy. Courage explains another aspect of Aristotle's moral virtue. Courage is a means of fear.傾向 tends to be overly afraid of the situation, recklessness tends to feel too much fear Courage is the meaning between the two, a trend suitable for the situation.

Finally, Aristotle is prepared to discuss certain moral virtues. Starting with courage, he mentioned two emotions, fear and confidence here. The tendency of excessive confidence is reckless, the tendency of excessive fear and lack of confidence is weak. When it becomes the pleasure and pain of a certain body, the average is discreet. Surplus is wealthy, but little happiness flaws have occurred. Aristotle introduced these two virtues in Volume 3 in more detail, but the basic idea still exists. The advantage of each case is the average between the two extremes, and the extreme value is the opposite. Therefore, virtue is a reliable method that can respond appropriately (with no excess or deficiency) with proper emotion with proper emotion, take appropriate action (neither too much nor too much).
