Aristotle's Proposal of Virtue Ethics Although Aristotle was a companion and scholar of Plato, he did not agree with Plato's speculations on ethical quality. Like other Greeks, Aristotle had no faith in the existence of irremediably terrible practices. A conduct can be neither great nor insidious, yet an individual can have great or terrible character qualities. Aristotle said that all individuals are formed by the consolidation of bad habits (terrible character qualities) and ideals (great character characteristics). He uses this idea to illustrate the postulate: virtue is behavior that concerns decision-making. This is demonstrated in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. On the other hand, the proposition cannot be understood without understanding what exactly air is. Aristotle accepted that behaviors were one of the three aggregations of things that make up the spirit. Emotions and limits are the other two; they differ from good manners in that they are not inclined reactions. An aspect must be accepted because of a circumstance. For example, we understand how to wear certain styles of clothing. In America, it is standard for men to wear jeans; skirts and dresses are normally seen as women's clothing. Men can wear suits if they need to and are physically fit to do so, but most men choose not to. Most American men are in the habit of wearing pants. Since arias are variable, we have to make specific choices in certain circumstances that we may not make in different circumstances. The alternate segments of the spirit are not equally variable. This is central to Aristotle's hypothesis in light of the fact that these decisions are connected... middle of paper... bad character traits don't make a difference, on the basis that the activity itself is non-moral . As for me, I accept that there are activities that in general are not right. Murder, infidelity, and theft are all terrible practices. Analyzing Aristotle's hypothesis I could have said that these things are intrinsically terrible. After reading the Nicomachean Ethics, I thought about the topic and found numerous examples of when “terrible” practices are the right thing to do or the primary decision. The self-defense champion is one of these; an alternative fantasy case might be that of a mother who takes bread to encourage her crew. From a Christian point of view I might say that there are inherently terrible practices, but after considering numerous cases where "terrible" conduct might be appropriate, I agree with Aristotle's theory.
