Demonstrating the Virtues of the Just Life

The character of Socrates in Virtu Plato Republic showing a life of justice is curious personality. Socrates is rarely satisfied with widely or arbitrarily accepted statements and there is no fear when discussing a wide range of topics. One of the themes Socrates frequently solved in the republic from early on was a fair and just life. Socrates rarely had time to try to show his two friends, Glaucon and Adeimantus, that in fact it only paid for justness.

According to the virtues of Europe, good life is the life of eudaimon, vice is the reason that humans become eudaimon, as long as there is only a personality trait that will benefit the owner unless it is lucky. Therefore, there is a relationship between Euda mononia and the status of virtue giving character. (For the differences between eudimonists, see Baril 2014. For recent eudimonism defense see Annas 2011, LeBar 2013b, Badhwar 2014, and Bloomfield 2014.)

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

Both Aristotle and Plato regard "a good life" as a state where a person shows complete virtue. Virtue is perfect moral superiority. But these philosophers are against the definition of virtue and its relevance to happiness. According to Aristotle, virtue is an important part of a better life. "Good life" can not be distinguished by virtue. Because good is consistent with uninhabited residences and suffering. As Plato deduces, he can show perfect virtue only when his desire is eliminated. Aristotle believes that everyone has different virtues, so everyone's "good life" is different. Plato believes that "a good life" is achieved by a complete love and lack of desire, and Aristotle is achieved through a complete country which allows citizens to comply with their own virtues "good life" I believe. acting. Aristotle's idea seems more practical and easy, but Plato's work seems more complicated.
