Aristotelian ethics is a philosophical approach developed by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. It emphasizes the concept of virtue and the importance of achieving a balanced character. According to Aristotle, the ultimate goal of human life is to attain eudaimonia, often translated as "flourishing" or "happiness," which is achieved through the practice of virtues. Central to Aristotelian ethics is the idea of the "Golden Mean," which suggests that moral virtues lie between extremes of excess and deficiency. For example, courage is a virtue that exists between recklessness and cowardice. By cultivating these virtues, individuals can lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.
