1. Suppose you want to decide whether to cheat on an exam. How
would you apply Virtue Ethics principles in reasoning about this?
2.
If Virtue Ethics defines a virtue as the sort of disposition that will achieve
'eudamonia', could the class of virtues be determined sociologically?
3.
Aristotle's 'eudaemonia' is a pretty materialist conception - basically it's the
happy life of the prosperous, married man. But other people have proposed other
utimate goals in life. For example Nietzsche (an insane person) thought the
first principle of life was the Will to Power (how very German) What effect
would that have on the type of virtues that one derives in the Virtue Ethics
system.
