Achieving excellence in terms of Aristotle's
"Nichomachean Ethics" Before actually focusing on
the main details of Aristotle's Argument, we must
pay careful attention to the opening remarks he
makes in Book I about the nature of his inquiry.
The first important point that he stresses is that
the study of the character of human beings is
dependent on what a human being is. Aristotle

in isolation, but a man that also lives with
parents, children, w...

High Probability Moral Code

'Don't give me any more facts! I need to make a
decision right now!' Although one can question
knowledge endlessly, one cannot forever suspend
judgement while researching and reflecting. What
would it mean to act responsibly in a situation
where one cannot possess certainty? How would one
justify the decision? The question of decisions
which must be made without the support of a full
array of facts is an interesting one. Such a
decision requires an adherence to a moral code,
but also an understa...

same. "Faith itself can...
