This reading was easier for me to comprehend and relate to
than the readings of Plato, and I think that is because Aristotle works through
issues/concepts through proofs and reasoning rather than a myriad of
questionings. I agree with Aristotle’s beliefs that we are at our best when we
have found a balance between excess and deficiency of something. His support
and reasoning are well thought-out for each instance. I also agree with his
definition of virtue – that it is not merely a feeling, but it is the action.
We are composed of the choices we make (amongst other things), which determines
our virtue. While our virtue is influenced by our feelings and our
capabilities, it is namely comprised of the decisions we make. Those decisions
determine how virtuous or unvirtuous we are.
I commented on Dallas’s and Darby’s posts!
