Aristotelian Ethics

Aristotelian Ethics, or Virtue Ethics, focuses on developing good character traits, or virtues, to achieve a fulfilling life. Instead of solely following rules or seeking pleasure, it emphasizes finding a balance in our emotions and actions (the "Golden Mean"). For example, courage is a virtue that lies between recklessness and cowardice. Aristotle believed that by cultivating virtues through practice and reflection, individuals can lead a meaningful life, fulfilling their potential and contributing positively to society. Ultimately, it's about becoming the best version of oneself and striving for eudaimonia, or human flourishing.
