Ancient Greek thinker Aristotle (384 BCE – 322 BCE) made significant contributions across various fields of study, including ethics, where his influence endures to this day. Notes on his Ethics lectures have been preserved through the centuries and continue to shape contemporary philosophical thought. For Aristotle, ethics was fundamentally about the cultivation of a virtuous character. He proposed that virtue lies in finding a balanced mean between extremes of excess and deficiency, which he referred to as the “golden mean.” In this lecture, we will delve into Aristotle’s concept of virtue and examine how this idea of the golden mean, as a harmonious balance between opposing vices, applies to modern ethical discussions. We will also consider whether Aristotle’s framework remains relevant and practical in addressing today’s moral challenges.
