Aristotle and John Stuart Mill -- Concepts of Justice
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses ideas of justice as perceived by the classical philosopher Aristotle and John Stuart Mill. According to Aristotle, the human soul is made up of rational and non-rational elements. In comparison, John Stuart Mill did not model his understanding of character on any factors other than his own belief that a person’s (male or female) character develops and is forged by his or her response to society. That response is what then empowers the individual to make the necessary changes within as well as related to fundamental societal parameters. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Aristotle and the Good Stuff
[ send me this paper ]
(7 pp) One of the things, that seems to happen whenever we think of philosophy, is this perverse mental block that flings itself into the air, calling something similar to, "Danger! Will Robinson. Danger! Danger!" Many of us get stuck there - take the warning and run the opposite direction. Take a deep breath, tell yourself, that thinking is not harmful to your heath and give this Greek guy a chance. This discussion will focus on some of the "good stuff:" the ideas of reason, virtue, and happiness as defined by Aristotle.

Aristotle's "Nichomachean Ethics": Friendship And Anger
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. To Aristotle, friendship, ethics and happiness are drawn from the same form, inasmuch as ethics represent the fundamental basis of one's existence; true friendship can only be derived from ethical behavior; and happiness is an intrinsic by-product of friendship. What is happiness if not a state of mind? In order to reach such a state of mind, one must engage in activity – either spiritual or social – that elicits this particular sentiment. Aristotle believed that ethics and thought were the fundamental basis for happiness, inasmuch as one cannot truly be happy if one is not cohesive with the world around him. Aristotle urged people to adhere to the fourteen axioms acts of his Nichomachean Ethics, which included gentility, honesty, pride, truthfulness, courage and self-restraint. This, asserted the philosopher, would aid in curtailing discord while broadening the trust that must exist between people in order to cultivate friendship. As such, one can readily associate the manner by which Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics illustrates how friendship serves as an important qualification in exercising the virtue of controlling one's anger.

Aristotle's Ethics and the Society
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing Aristotle's account of human nature and the individual's ability to overcome desire for interests only of the self. This provides the foundation for Aristotle's ethical theory in that virtues are learned. They are not innate, making them available to all wishing to pursue them. In-place leaders are those who have sought to gain wisdom through learning and understand the importance of the contemplative life, thereby giving them authority over other members of the society who have not pursued the same actions.
