Re: Any Aristotle Fans out There?
You really like the Nichomachean Ethics? I just don't particularly like a vague virtue ethics that says the good man is the type of person that has good qualities and does good things without giving us any criteria by which to judge why it is that those qualities and deeds are good in the first place. By what lights are we supposed to judge the "virtues"?
Caveat: I only read Aristotle for an intro-level survey course so I'm willing to listen but my teacher's assistant didn't really have any answers to this question
