Feel free to be creative with the title.  Please prepare for anonymous grading. Do not include your name on the paper.  Questions? Consult: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ Sources: Use only the text we read for class: that is, the Nicomachean Ethics. Explain Aristotle’s virtue ethics by answering the following questions. What is the highest good, for Aristotle, and what is his argument for this highest good? Virtues are required to achieve this highest good; what are virtues and how are they attained? How do Aristotle’s ethical views relate to his understanding of friendship, self-love, or moral education? The aim, here, is not to argue for or against a position, nor to be innovative. Rather, in answering the questions you should summarize the ethical theory as clearly as possible.
