Assignment Content
1. Main Idea: Virtue ethics requires finding a golden mean between vice of excess and vice of deficiency. Define golden mean as well as vice, then explain how this process can lead you to eudaimonia. Be sure to use quotations in your explanation.
Questions/ Applications: What is a virtue you would like to pursue? Why do you want to pursue it? Explain what the two extreme vices of this virtue are and what they would look like for you. Finally, specify who you want to work on this virtue with. Why do you have to work on a virtue with someone? What can they help you with?
(Note: Aristotle argues that you cannot work on virtues alone, so for the purposes of this assignment you must identify someone.)
