Aristotle's Ethics B

(Originally written July 10, 2006 in Book 4)

The History of Western Philosophy
Bertrand Russell
Chapter 20 -Aristotle's Ethics (continued)

Ethics can be divided into two classes:
1) virtues are ends
2) virtues are means

For Aristotle virtues are the means to an end, which is happiness.

Friendship only occurs between virtuous persons.

A man should love himself nobly.
