Aristotle And Habituation: Is Virtue Really Attainable Without God's Help, Roy Michael Mattson
Aristotle And Habituation: Is Virtue Really Attainable Without God's Help, Roy Michael Mattson
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
We are by nature moral beings who desire virtue. This fact is borne out by innumerable studies. Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and Eudemian Ethics remain among the most influential works on ethics and human moral psychology. Aristotle claims that human beings can develop good character traits and achieve virtue with the appropriate upbringing (what Aristotle called habituation). Much of what Aristotle says about character traits, virtue, and habituation is accepted today and inspires character education.
