This essay will be based off Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics which can be found here: http://socserv2.socsci.mcmaster.ca/econ/ugcm/3ll3/aristotle/Ethics.pdf Prompt: present a brief evaluation of virtue ethics as a moral theory. After a short introduction, 1. Give a brief description of virtue ethics generally: what is it? What are its most essential features? You should use a quote from the text to support your description. 2. State what, in your opinion is the most compelling feature of virtue ethics. What is the best thing about virtue ethics as a moral theory? You should use a quote from the text to support your claim. 3. State what, in your opinion is the greatest weakness of virtue ethics. You do not need a quote here, but if you find one helpful, that’s great. 4. Where do you come out? Are you on Team Virtue Ethics or not? Tie this to your strength/weakness: is the strength so strong that you can endorse virtue ethics in spite of the weakness you acknowledge? How do you then address the weakness? Conversely, is the weakness so great that you cannot endorse virtue ethics in spite of its strength? How, then, do you address that strength? 5. Briefly conclude.
