Aristotle's Ethics and the Society

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing Aristotle's account of human nature and the individual's ability to overcome desire for interests only of the self. This provides the foundation for Aristotle's ethical theory in that virtues are learned. They are not innate, making them available to all wishing to pursue them. In-place leaders are those who have sought to gain wisdom through learning and understand the importance of the contemplative life, thereby giving them authority over other members of the society who have not pursued the same actions. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
