Aristotle’s Virtue Ethics moral theory

You will write about Aristotle’s Virtue Ethics moral theory 

Supporting aruguments:  reasonings I will list them, first is Character Development, second is Flexibility (in decision making), Third is a person’s emotional state (personal fulfilment). Another reason I might consider adding is Personal growth. These reasons are going to be my support for my thesis. Please use these or at least include a couple

You will need to show the COUTER arguments as well like challenging to define what is morally right or wrong in given situations. A second could be lack of guidance, due to the fact the other moral theories provide clear rules for decision making

To defend virtue ethics from the charge that it is relativistic make strong use of the theory of the mean. Also, you will need a response to the practical problem of the Milgram Experiments which is also in your book

Book Needed: Philosophy: A Thematic Approach By Dougas Thiel

• Clear development of an unambiguous thesis statement in the first paragraph.
• You are to select one of the above as the moral theory you believe best underwrites (or should be the basis for) moral actions.  This final term paper must be 3 – 4 pages, double spaced normal font.  In writing this final paper incorporate the elements of a philosophy position paper that you employed in the first two essays and in the mid-term essay question.
• Multiple and sufficient reasons for subscribing to this thesis in the following paragraphs. All reasons stay relevant (there is no rambling or unnecessary digressions). Coherent from beginning to end.
• Good use of the videos and text. The use of proper terminology, i.e., “dualism”, functionalism” , “behaviorism” etc, when appropriate. This also indicates your familiarity with these terms. This does not mean that you define these terms (as in a research paper). Rather, you utilize these terms because you know what they mean and how they relate to your argument.
• Good use of the names of the Philosophers. Once again, this is not about footnotes (I said you didn’t need them). Rather it is about dialogue. If you have read and understood the text, you will automatically recall and use the names of the philosophers as you develop your argument.
• Sensitivity to the counter-argument. Remembering that your thesis is subject to a counter-thesis, you demonstrate that you understand the rational force of the opposing viewpoint. You indicate how your thesis “holds up” to the counter-thesis.
• Avoids the pitfalls of “appeals to authority”. Example, “I believe this is the truth because it says so in the Bible”. Or I believe this is the truth “because I read it in my science book.”  Philosophy is an examination of what counts as a foundation for knowledge.  And neither a strict religious foundation nor a strict scientific foundation is left unquestioned.  This becomes increasingly important for future papers. This Intro class is not designed to call one’s faith into question. One may enjoy an ardent faith as regards a particular religion or as regards a discrete scientific model.  However, as we indicated in the orientation session, we will “bracket-out” pre-conceptions… and concentrate on “human reasoning and understanding” as the basis for our thesis and arguments. This is a very subtle point.
• Avoids “mere opinion” (unsupported by sound reasoning). This takes the form of “I believe…” trailing off into mere speculation about things without due consideration of the philosophical thinking that has been conducted in the last two thousand years. Often this occurs when one gives an “autobiography” of personal experiences as the basis for your belief system. Life experiences are important and foundational. However, this course is concerned with understanding various “theories” which transcend time and place (and the experiences of any one individual
