VIRTUE ETHICS
BY: ARISTOTLE
Aristotle was a Greek p
hilosopher and polymath
during the Classical pe
riod in Ancient Greece.
Aristotle provided a co
mplex synthesis of the
various philosophies ex
isting prior to him.
V​irtue ethics, from the
Greek word ἀρετή (ar
ete), are normative ethi
cal theories which empha
size virtues of mind, ch
aracter and sense of HON
ESTY
​ost virtue ethics theori
M
es take their inspiration
from Aristotle who declar
ed that a virtuous person
is someone who has ideal
character traits.
S​ince its revival in the
twentieth century, virtu
e ethics has been develo
ped in three main direct
ions: Eudaimonism, agen
t-based theories, and th
e ethics of care.
12 VIRTUES OF
ARISTOTLE
Aristotle’s 12 virtues a
re a great checklist to u
nderstand the different m
orals, values, and virtue
s that you could cultivat
e or restrain in your lif
e. It’s like an ancient
Greek personality test.
 Aristotle’s 12 virtues:
1) Courage – bravery
2) Temperance – moderation
3) Liberality – spending
4) Magnificence – charisma, style
5) Magnanimity – generosity
6) Ambition – pride
7) Patience – temper, calm
8) Friendliness – social IQ
9) Truthfulness – honesty, candidness
10) Wit – humor, joy
11) Modesty – ego
12) Justice – sense of right / wrong,
Eudaemonia
Eudaimonia, also spelled eudaemonia,
in Aristotelian ethics the condition of
human flourishing or of living well.
The conventional English translation of
the ancient Greek term, “happiness,”
is unfortunate because eudaimonia, as
Aristotle and most other ancient
philosophers understood it, does not
consist of a state of mind or a feeling
of pleasure or contentment, as
“happiness” (as it is commonly used)
implies.
An activity of the soul in a
ccordance with virtue. “One

day or a short time does not

make someone blessed and hap
py
either.”
Soul is composed of rational
and irrational elements.

 What is moral virtue in ethics?
Aristotle defines moral virtue as
a disposition to behave in the ri
ght manner and as a mean between
extremes of deficiency and excess
, which are vices. We learn moral
virtue primarily through habit an
d practice rather than through re
asoning and instruction.
PARTS OF SOUL
The soul is the form of th
e body. As such the soul r
efers to the total person
. Accordingly, Aristotle
said that the soul has asp
ects or parts
The soul is the form of the body. As
such the soul refers to the total
person. Accordingly, Aristotle said
that the soul has aspects or parts
Aristotle first that since virtue is
excellence of the soul, we need a
rough account of the soul.
He divides the soul into the followin
g aspects or parts:

• Nutritive soul – This is the

part responsible for nutrition an
d growth.
• Rational soul – This is the
part responsible for reason (logo

• Sensory soul – This allows u
s to perceive the world around us
