teleological framework as a way of understanding human activity. As a part of this framework‚ Aristotle suggests that there is an ‘ultimate end’ which is the goal of this human activity.

happiness comes from within ourselves‚ not from our surroundings. I think this is a very important part of Aristotle’s teaching. I believe that in order to accept others and enjoy life‚ we must first learn to accept ourselves and be proud of who we are.

Apuleius wrote the Golden Ass during the Second Century A.D. In it he talked about many complex allegorical contexts and layers of meaning pertaining to varying religious practices. He was able to do this by essentially switching back and forth between side stories which might or might not intertwine with the overall story. The religion of Isis was predominant in comparing the other lesser known or rather “inferior” religions of the time such as Christianity. It seems as if Isis was praised in a

Studies in Religion and Ethics 1 Aristotle’s Virtue Ethics Virtue ethics is a theory concerned with the character development of a person‚ rather than the rules of how they behave or the consequences of their actions. A virtue ethicist will say that it is not the action which someone takes or the consequences of that action which are important‚ but rather what the decision to act says about that person’s moral character.
