Nicomachean Ethics, discussing the roles of habituation, teaching, and pleasure and pain in the acquisition of virtue. After outlining the insights in Aristotle’s famous ‘doctrine of the mean’, I shall suggest that David Hume’s grounding of virtue in human
well-being is preferable to that of Aristotle’s in ‘the noble’, and that Henry Sidgwick was right to recognize, as Aristotle did not, the possibility of genuine moral self-sacrifice. I shall end by suggesting that Aristotle’s account of practical wisdom, when
attached to Sidgwick’s dualism, enables us to understand what it is to be, and to become, good.</span><span style="color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
