Aristotle’s virtues were intended to govern the activities of everyday life in Ancient Athens. He says cultivating these virtues was essential for reaching eudaimonia in his society.
Things have changed a lot since then: slavery is outlawed and women have more rights. Modern technology has changed the ways that we communicate, and it has also created a lot of new activities. Perhaps if Aristotle were alive today his set of virtues would look a bit different.
Your task is to update Aristotle’s virtues to better guide us toward eudaimonia in today’s world:
- Describe a virtue that governs a new activity of everyday life that is not present in Aristotle’s list of virtues. o Be sure to explain the emotions that this virtue regulates and why this virtue is essential for eudaimonia today.
- Reflect on who is able to cultivate this virtue. Is this virtue only attainable by some members of society? Does your virtue reveal moral flaws in today’s culture?
- How do we teach society to cultivate this new virtue? Guidelines:
- Minimum of 2 pages, double spaced, 1 inch margins, Times New Roman
- Cite sources using MLA format when appropriate
