5. Explain the following statement: Having virtue just means doing the right thing,

at the right time, in the right way, in the right amount, toward the right people.

Aristotle said that having virtue just means doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, in the right amount, toward the right people. Aristotle understood virtue as a set of robust character traits that, once developed, will lead to predictably good behaviour.

6. Based on Aristotle’s Virtue Theory, how will you achieve Eudaimonia?

Aristotle maintains that eudaimonia is what everyone wants (and Epicurus would agree). He also thinks that eudaimonia is best achieved by a life of virtuous activity in accordance with reason. By contrast, Epicurus holds that virtue is the means to achieve happiness.
