    According to Aristotle‚ we get moral virtue as a result of habit and none of the moral virtues arise in us by nature‚ because nothing that exists by nature can form a habit contrary to its nature. Nature has no effect on how moral virtues arise in us. Instead‚ we receive nature when we adapt‚ and therefore are made perfect by habit. A good example Aristotle uses is that we have senses before we even know how to use them. Eventually we learn how to use them by exercising them everyday. Another good

    Moral virtue would be a difficult concept to grasp if one were to search and seize such a thing. A consistent idea of virtue isn’t easily defined‚ for its ambiguity lets us to believe our own perception is the correct one. By doing so‚ everyone is right‚ in their own sense‚ yet they are also wrong. This never-ending debate would never cease‚ therefore our efforts would render useless. A common ground is required for some kind of agreement between us. In The Nicomachean Ethics‚ Aristotle provides

    How is moral virtue acquired? Alex Koglman Aristotle believes ethics is about moral virtue over intellectual virtue. Moral virtue comes about as a result of habits of human excellence. So in that case nothing that exists by nature can form a habit. For example‚ when a bunny is born it does not learn to hop it is born to hop. With that being said us humans should try and develop good habits from the beginning of life. By developing good habits this will help you do the right thing without
