Ethics

Ethics

Aristotle places great emphasis on the moral virtue of temperance in relation to the nature of states of character.  In his examination to achieve true temperance Aristotle asserts, “The general account being of this nature, the account of particular cases is yet more lacking in exactness; for they don not follow under any art or precept, but the agents themselves must in each case consider what is appropriate to the occasion” (-1104a9).  He believes that we achieve our own good will, but attaining the good isn’t an exact science, it isn’t precise like math or physics.  However, he still attempts to arrive to a definition of true temperance.
In defining true temperance Aristotle speaks about human function.  He says the enjoyment of pleasure is reasonable and the abstention of pleasure as unreasonable.  He says true virtue lies between Self-indulgence and abstention.  Therefore, temperance represents the mean lying between excess and abstention.  He doesn’t concern himself with a uniform rule, but with something all humans have in common allowing us to act accordingly.
In book two of the ethics Aristotle concerns himself with three objects of choice: the noble, the useful, and the pleasant, as well
