Shantanu Dahiya
Socrates plato and aristotle were the first philosophers in the western tradition to propound a theory of ethics. Virtue theory defines morality as arising from a person's virtuous character traits. It is different from other theories, which are action-based. We discuss the hierarchy of virtues, Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Golden mean. We end with criticisms of virtual theory.
