consider this issue. His approach is the most useful for two main reasons, namely his concept of the golden mean and his idea about learning which virtues to follow based on role models. These ideas strike me as the most realistically applicable of all three theorists. In other words, Aristotle’s system of ethics is one that is useful in practice, not just on paper. The principle of the golden mean, for instance, seems like what many people do when faced with an ethical choice in real life. They decide

right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is interesting from Thomas Jefferson’s point of view that he says that we have the right to pursue happiness. When he said this, what did he mean in ways of understanding it and pursing this happiness? To live, as we have experienced, is itself a means to living well. The same applies to freedom. We cannot pursue happiness if we cannot freely carry out the choices we make. “If everything is determined for us, if the pattern of our life is imposed

Delphi, is one of the earliest elaborations of the doctrine known as the Golden Mean. It was this one saying that sparked the birth of an ethical principle, in which the concepts are tenfold.

country has a different standard of life that they live by. Constant wars, instability, violence, and corruptive governments have corroded the former glorious and prosperous region, which makes it a good introduction, in the Essay “The Search for a Golden Mean.” It also shows a good clear topic sentence supporting what the writer thinks. Maybe many people in these countries were poor and uneducated and that’s why the Government liked to have that control over their people. The Persepolis story shows a

warned his son, “not to fly too high to avoid having the wax melted by the sun and not to fly too low so that ocean water wouldn’t soak his feathers” (Rosenstand, 2013, p. 468). This is the scenario that is a parallel to Aristotle’s idea behind the “Golden Mean” and living life in moderation. For a while the son listened to his father and kept a good distance from the sun and ocean. However, further within the journey Icarus flew too high, causing the wax to melt and his feathers to fall and eventually

Question: What is Aristotle’s idea of a good life and why does he view a good life in this way? Is Aristotle’s understanding of a good life accurate? Why or why not?
