I think it's important to note that the "golden mean" isn't necessarily always the mathematical mean, it can be closer to one vice than the other.

Virtue E

5y↑68

The golden mean switches based on the situation. So the mugger example, the mean is closer to recklessness, but if someone has a gun to your face demanding money the mean is closer to cowardice.

"Eudaimonia doesn’t mean a life of cupcakes and rainbows. It means the sweet pleasure of sinking into bed at the end of an absolutely exhausting day. It’s the satisfaction of knowing you’ve accomplished a lot, and that you’ve pushed yourself to be the very best person you could be." ~Crash Course Philosopy #38

I'm from Greece and eudaimonia ("ευδαιμονία", but you may also see it as "εὐδαιμονία" from anciet greek) is come from 2 words. The 1st word is the prefix "ευ-" which means good and the 2nd word is "δαίμονας" (or "δαίμων" on ancient greek) which means demon. But we use this word in order to say: This man has good spirit (Αυτός ο άντρας είναι καλόψυχος).

Jim Jim

4y↑31

Glad you cleared it up. But actually demon is misleading because back in antiquity demon didn't insinuate sin and bad spirits e.t.c it just meant gods but not the 12 gods ,rather the gods who distributed to someone their features . (διανέμω >δαίμων) . They were something like the Fates (Klotho , Atropos, Lachesis ) . For example, Socrates in Symposium calls Love s Demon because love more or less fixes our lifes

So a few comments:
1. The place of virtue in the soul is important to note because of Aristotle's ultimate goals. For Aristotle, the ultimate goal is happiness (which we know because everyone desires it), and happiness for Aristotle is rational activity of the soul in accordance with virtue. This is because there are essentially three parts of the soul to Aristotle (well, two and a half). The first part is pure reason, the rational part of the soul. The other parts of the soul could both be considered "nonrational," but one of them (the appetitive part), is capable of following reason. The reason I bring this up is because it's necessary to know to understand why virtue is important at all- it's the means of the nonrational to cooperate with the rational.
2. Virtue is not an arithmetic mean, but rather a circumstantial one. Hank somewhat implies this, but it's important to be said more fully, as the interpretation of it as an arithmetic mean was done extensively in the middle ages, which is actually a pretty terrible misreading. Consider the purpose of a virtue like temperance- if someone has the virtue of temperance, they are able to fight against the urges of the body and have reason overcome them. Considering this an arithmetic mean, like the church did, puts a hard limit on not doing things like drinking, which removes the focus of the virtues from the idea of cooperation with rationality. Like I said, the rationalism is important.
3. Virtue also can't just be done, it has to be intended. Children are able to do virtuous things by accident, but that does not mean they are virtuous. This is something that Hank actually misses a bit. The importance of intention, once again, connects to the idea of rationality.

I bring this all up because it's easy to overemphasize character virtues in Aristotle's works. The rational aspects of it are just as important, and shouldn't be neglected to be noted in an introductory video. Not criticizing, just expanding.

i agree that naturally become a good person by having good intent and wisdom and focus with passion (i theorize passionate view of the world and inner philosophy) makes someone virtuous but i dont agree that EVERYTHING is in the middle

I think that there need to be a good balance like he said, but some things are both closer to the stronger (extremes) but in the middle in total/part at the same time

let's say there you had an bag full of wood, and important items are not in your bag and you might be able to fight the guy, then you make a deal to give that bag to the robber if he leaves the grandma alone and you do it by offering him your bag full of shitty wood and luring him away from the old lady by leaving your bag on the floor and laying down 25 feet next to it, but you dont fight him, that is both less rekless than typical courage but more brave and virtuous than typical courage so it is both

Otter Space

4y↑4

no no hmmm I think it would depend on whether the robber came back and beat you up for trying to trick him.... but then again, virtue ethics isn’t a consequentialist theory so then perhaps if you were a virtuous person and, given your assessment of the situation, you believed it was the most moral thing to do (aligned with the most amount of virtues) then yeah, maybe that’s a moral act. Aristotle does say that a virtuous person is the one who exhibits prudence, and is able to carefully take each situation into account, then decide how to act... sometimes that does mean acting in vice (for example, sometimes the most virtuous way to be is morose in exceptionally dangerous or sad situations) the virtuous person who is capable of prudence (the most important virtue according to Aristotle) would know when to ‘break the rule’ of the golden mean

Marcus Canter

Today on this overview of moral science. I found that a large portion of my moral code was written and described by Aristotle when I myself thought the concept of the golden mean (balancing responses and choosing your battles) was a concept forged more modernly in the moral straight. The fact is that my code (like everyone's) is unique to my beliefs and this balanced between extremes perspective on moral reactions fits almost seamlessly into it, although i do find some preexisting contradictions as some of the more "assumed" portions of the theory don't sit well with my preexisting moral code. As I continue to seek to answer my question of whether or not my moral code fits into any one existing mindset, I find my morality to be quite the melting pot of philosophies. I do love this exploration. If only all would seek their own answers in a manner where they don't feel pressed to be one thing or another. You can share many philosophies in one moral mind.

This was a great video. As a greek myself, I'd like to share this information about the definition of Eudaimonia. We learn in school that the meaning of this word has been changed several times. The philosophers of the age before 500BC gave to this word the meaning of "Someone who gets anything he asks for from the Gods" (maybe because he is in good relationship with them). Then, around 500BC, Hippocrates, Demodocus and then Aristotle gave the meaning that we also use to day: "To be happy regardless of the situations, feeling accomplished for taking action always with good manners."

Guys, I love your stuff. I'd like to contribute to your great job with a little comment. The Greek word "Eudamonia" might be divided and translated etymologically like this: "Eu" (good, proper, accurate, correct) and "daimon" which is the root of the Spanish word "demonio" (demon in English) but to the Greek it used to mean more likely "Spirit" or even "Angel". Hopefully this may be useful. Long life to CrashCourse.

So, Aristotle says you can't learn virtue from books, but I disagree. Maybe not from philosophy books, but from narrative fiction. Literature, Film, TV, Video games, etc. You as an individual can't experience even a small amount of every kind of scenario. But in a well told story with fleshed out characters you can imagine how such an experience might come to be, and what may come from different decisions made by those characters.

Himanshu Dutt

5y↑2

It only become virtue when it is reflected in your behavior. So just reading from book is not sufficient it should be implemented practically in real life for it to become a part of your character. That's where experience comes in.

So Aristotle probably mean to say that rather than just reading from book those good lessons and morals should be implemented in real life.

Ishmael Forester

Socrates infamously attacks and exiles the poets in the Republic of Plato, but there is a debate over how serious he was and how ironic he was being in the context of that particular dialogue and the point he was making in that context. Throughout the Platonic dialogues Socrates refers to Homer and the dramatists over and over, sometimes positively, sometimes negatively, depending on the point he is attempting to make and the general theme of the discussion at hand. It might be true that narrative media was not exactly what it is today, but nobody who really knows Homer deludes themselves he is any less of a master and exemplar of the art of story than he ever was. The Greek philosophers almost lacked nothing when it comes to fundamentally meditating on the issue merely through knowing their Homer.

Ishmael Forester

Aristotle deals with narrative media specifically in his famous and much admired and cited Poetics (absolutely an essential read for anybody seriously interested in narrative media). He is indeed concerned with more general principles in the Ethics.

Eudaimonia.. If I should pick the episode that will change my life, the episode that made me "born again". It will be this episode. But I wouldn't be able to grasp any of this without the preceding episodes. I have been progressing mentally to be good for so long I thought I got to a point where it would be difficult. to get better. This Crash course has proved me utterly wrong. I think I need to rethink my life again, I mean I did it when I read Jordan Peterson's 12 rules for life, now it feels I need to rebuild my morals and beliefs from scratch, just like René Descartes. Oh God, I hope I survive the journey. Speaking of God, I think an agnostic view is the most Philosophical approach to making a religious stand. No matter what side you pick there is always that big possibility you are wrong. But my foot is deeper in the "theist's sea" because I just have a hunch. Which, as an agnostic, I'm allowed to have.

I think this is hilarious, this was my almost exact philosophy when i was younger, like from (18-26). I think its funny because that was back then I knew hardly anything, I had little knowledge. This is a philosophy of instinct. But now that I know more and understand the universe a little better, instinct is a not very good at determining what is true. I think its important to keep in mind the our "reason" was born out of an evolutionary process. Cheers :-) PS I forgot to mention I didn't know who Aristotle was at that time, but i guess i was influenced by him indirectly through my culture.

Studying this chapter my ethics class missed a few objections and challenges to this theory such as moral dilemmas. What happens when there is a situation where two virtuous people that you should follow and act upon disagree and offer different advice for the given situation?

I don't believe that virtue is something predestinated in our personality - but rather the development of human maturity. I do think positive actions are as useless as words as long as their intentions are meaningless or even harmful.
But intentions and emotions, for me, tell you more about a person than their actions could, and can compromise a possible negative outcome.
I believe that everybody deserves a second chance.

Is it just me, or does virtue theory seem like the existentialist's ethical system of choice. It seems that the state of eudaimonia and existentialism's view of making the right choice for yourself based on how you understand the situation should work quite nicely together.

Good eye. They are certainly compatible theories, and generally more functional than the ethical theories that lay between them.

Ultimately, though, virtue ethics needs some modification for be compatible with existentialism. Primarily, existentialism is the broad rejection of purpose, which is why it's fundamentally an atheistic position (yes, it technically grew out of a fundamentalist Christian theory, but the term doesn't apply to that). Virtue ethics is founded on some key assumptions about the way people "should" be. So it ultimately allows far less variety of action than existentialism, which gives the individual complete reign over that. This doesn't mean that you can't combine them, of course. It just means that there is some modification being done on both ends.
