Aristotle's Conception of Virtue

What can Aristotle be described as?

Aristotle defines virtue as a "disposition to act in the right manner" and as a "mean between extremes of deficiency and excess, which are vices".

Answer:

Aristotle can be described as a philosopher who defined virtue as a "disposition to act in the right manner" and as a "mean between extremes of deficiency and excess, which are vices".

In Aristotle's conception of virtue, he argues that virtues are acquired through habit and practice, rather than through reasoning and instruction. This means that virtues are not innate and unchangeable, but rather develop over time as we repeatedly act in a virtuous way.

Option A is incorrect because Aristotle does not believe that virtues are driven by emotions. He argues that emotions can be either virtuous or vicious, depending on how they are controlled.
