Aristotle bases his ethics on character and virtue rather than will

Aristotle set the stage for ethics discussion But Aristotle bases his ethics on character and virtue rather than will Now Western thought has a "value system" based not on will but on honor Aristotle's overarching virtue
Values and will are one Values create history and culture Values transcend character Values transcend virtue Values are the desires of the heart Jesus understands all of this Aristotle appears not to
Only the will is capable of desire Values are desires They are not characteristics They are motivations. Their power is realized as they become conscious and operative
All of us operate on values that represent what we most honor what we give the most credence towhat moves us.
Search the terms value and virtue in the text of Aristotle's "Ethics" You will find virtue and character For Aristotle value is merely a word denoting relative advantage in relationships
