Ethics.

ARISTOTLE AND BUTLER ON THE NATURE OF VIRTUE.

MR. POOLE.

1. Τὰς δ' ἀρετὰς λαμβάνομεν ἐνεργήσαντες πρότερον, ὥσπερ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἄλλων τεχνῶν.

The words i Twv äλλwv texvõv seem opposed to Aristotle's views. Show this; and state how they are to be interpreted.

2. Aristotle seems to assert great doubtfulness in matters connected with morals. Notice the passages which prove this. Yet he appears in other passages to have a belief in some fixed standard of morality?

3. Περὶ ἡδονὰς γὰρ καὶ λύπας ἐστὶν ἡ ἠθικὴ ἀρετή.

Give Aristotle's arguments in support of this statement.

4. Απορήσειε δ ̓ ἄν τις πῶς λέγομεν ὅτι δεῖ τὰ μὲν δίκαια πράττοντας δικαίους γίνεσθαι, τὰ δὲ σώφρονα σώφρονας· εἰ γὰρ πράττουσι τὰ δίκαια καὶ τὰ σώφρονα, ἤδη εἰσὶ δίκαιοι καὶ σώφρονες.

Discuss this paradox; and state distinctly Aristotle's views on the subject.

5. Aristotle omits some virtues from his induction which would appear inconsistent with his definition of ἀρετή ?

6. Show by examples that either extreme, whether in excess or defect, may be the least opposed to the mean.

It has been remarked, however, that both cases seem determined in accordance with the same principle?

7. What view does Butler take of pain and suffering as existing in this world? And state your own arguments in respect to that view.

8. Whence does it arise that one class of actions, regarded as of good desert, is less recognised than the other?-and how does Butler explain the circumstance that causes it?

2. In what different senses might the precept be taken, to love our neighbour as ourselves? How does Butler discuss the objections made to it as implying an equality of affection?
