  • Aristotle on Virtue as Mean State : A Map or Legend of Ethical Terrain? Skultety, Steven C. 2022 Ancient Philosophy , Vol. 42 , Issue 2 , S. 493 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0740-2007 | 2154-4689 Abstract

    Aristotle’s Doctrine of the Mean is often interpreted as a map of how character virtues are constituted. Taken in this way, critics argue that the Doctrine fails to describe accurately the specific virtues analyzed in books 3 to 5 of the Nicomachean Ethics. I argue that Aristotle does not offer the Doctrine as a map, but rather as a legend in terms of which any explication of a character virtue should be given. This interpretation resolves a number of interpretative problems in the Ethics and sheds light on the way the Doctrine does, and does not, guide action.
