Such truths must then be fortified and upheld through law and policy. “At his best‚ man is the noblest of all animals; seperated from law and justice‚ he is

Virtue ethics was systematized by Aristotle during the 4th century BC. In his writing‚ Nichomachean Ethics‚ Aristotle outlined three terms to describe his ideology. The first of these three terms is eudaimonia. This means happiness‚ “good spirit‚” or flourishing. In Aristotle’s eyes‚ eudaimonia is the state to achieve to realize ones full potential. The second term‚ telos‚ is the end‚ purpose‚ aim‚ or goal that one should be trying to achieve. One can only achieve eudaimonia by fulfilling their telos

In order to make my point I will first have to explain Aristotle’s
