Abstract
Abstract Some people take the project of sketching the ideal character to be central to virtue ethics. Some interpreters of Aristotle take him to be engaged in this project. They take his virtuous person to be morally perfect, to act and feel exactly right in every situation. Of course, the flip side of this thesis is that anyone who acts and feels otherwise must be less than virtuous. Aristotle does make remarks that suggest this idealization interpretation. He says, for example, [A] The sense of disgrace is not even characteristic of a good man, since it is consequent on bad actions ... and the good man will never voluntarily do bad actions.
