Virtue ethics highjack ed

During the 13 th Century Aquinas was introduced to the writings of Aristotle. Through his Christian writings four of Aristotle's virtues became known as the cardinal values. These are; Prudence Justice Fortitude Temperance They are related to one another and are needed for each other.

Later appeared the ‘seven cardinal vices’ or the Five of which appeared in Aristotle’s list. These were considered wrong for the person and society. They are still in use today. This development of Aristotle demonstrates the importance of his theory for understanding virtue.

Christianity is centred around helping other people. The Christian adoption of these virtues demonstrate how important virtues are for helping people as a community. As mentioned earlier Aristotle stressed the importance of the community in moral development. The best people in society are interested in the development of the community as a whole. A person who achieves eudaimonia will be interested in developing the community as a whole. Helping them reach the end goal.

As we know Aristotle (despite his physics) was not an absolutist about morality. He understood virtues relatively. He claimed (unlike Plato) that there is no sense of absolute good or evil beyond our world. As such the virtues of one city may differ from another depending upon the needs of that society. For example a society may be at war; as such courage and bravery would be highly prized.

Different cities have different ideas of ends for the world. In each city different virtues aim towards that individual societies understanding of FINAL PURPOSE In each society most people have an understanding of the virtues. In these communities the philosopher matters the most. Why?

Because they use their intellectual virtues for the good of the community. 1.They can help the educate the individuals in the virtues. 2.They can help guide the politicians to the correct superior and subordinate aims to better society. 3.They can help convince the hedonists which are appropriate superior and subordinate aims in life.
