To the philosopher Aristotle nike air max 95 noir pas cher , there were many types of virtues and they came in many forms. He viewed virtue as the habit of the soul. It was the mean between two vices: one of deficiency and one of excess. And this mean was defined through reason as the prudent man would define it. He was careful in his analysis of mankind and all the basic components that should make the species as is. To Aristotle, virtue was the sign that meant the man and his soul was at happiness, which was the ultimate goal of life. Though he carefully examined many virtues, one of the more interesting and analytical in his studies is his perception on the virtue of courage.
Aristotle's view of bravery and courage is a unique look at a characteristic in mankind. It is very situational and personal by definition. Each being has its own interpretation of how to be brave and how to overcome the mortal fears nike air max 95 femme pas cher , whether naturalistically feared or at least logically defended. There is no defense for fears that have no real threat or act of bravery to overcome. So the first point of understanding Aristotle's stance in the matters is to know that there is a wrong definition for being brave, meaning that there is no true act of bravery for the mortal man to overcome, and a right definition for being brave, where it is a natural andor logical fear that is understood and overcome by the individual. Once one can recognize the specifics of Aristotle's assessments nike air max 95 homme pas cher , they can aim at the requirements to become brave.
The brave man, to Aristotle, is a wise man. For even in being brave and courageous one must still have fears. It is a part of human kind to understand and acknowledge this. It is almost in a way like a humble, though in some cases not so evidently humble nike air max 2017 noir pas cher , manner of recognizing your own mortality and imperfection in life. If one did not have fear or fears, then one could not overcome them and truly never achieve greater peace or self-accomplishment in life. And it is required to not only have the fear, but also to be able to recognize the fear. The individual must be able to know what it is that he fears before he can overcome it. So there is some intellect and self-awareness necessity in being brave. Once the person can admit to their own being that they do indeed fear like all humans and that they can identify what it is to fear, they can proceed in the steps to overcome their fear.
The problem with this is that it there is a fine line between the instinctive sense of courage and the intellectual sense of courage. Aristotle looks down on those who rush in to overcome their courage and do not fully assess what it is that they should be brave against and for. It is not in their wisdom that they do such acts and therefore do not understand that they are truly being brave. On the other hand nike air max 2017 bleu pas cher , though one may act almost fool-heartedly when put in a situation requiring bravery, it does not necessarily mean that the person has a vice of excess in the virtue, which is what on even grounds Aristotle's work seems to express. The problem arrives that does the man truly need to consciously recognize the act of bravery or can instinctively his mind and body realize this without making it consciously aware? If so, then he destroys any other factors in his decision to be courageous and is not being manipulated or influenced by any forces other than his own conscious. This gives expression that there is also a vice of over-thinking.
As stated nike air max 2017 rouge pas cher , Aristotle clearly expresses an act of intellectualism and reason being a part of bravery. To what extent this goes is what splits his definition of the virtue into paths of interpretation. Man requires reason to exist as man. This part is clear in all forms and analyses, but that reason can be an innate feature at times, acting as an instinctive part of man's being. By looking at it in this way, courage would require mainly just being able to overcome the fear and a certain amount of analysis of it. Lack of analysis would mean improper reason and recognition of reality nike air max 2017 blanche pas cher , while over analysis would inevitably bring in other elements and components other than the pure act of overcoming a fear and being brave. So courage relies on a means between two vices of reason. One would fail at truly gaining the virtue of courage if they were to be fool-hearted and not fully understand what it means to be courageous, and also one would fail if they were over-analytical and let the influence of other elements besides their own judgment and conscious persuade their acts and being.
So we can gather this from the end analysis: the virtue of courage is an act of understanding man's own mortal fears, both natural and logical, and the ability to keep the act of overcoming fear nike air max 2017 homme pas cher , of being courageous, between two vices of reason where one is the lack of judgment and intellect while the other is the excess of judgment and analyzing. This leaves Aristotle's view on courage in an unlikely path. Though he deeply expresses the power of reason, it is this same reason that creates a vice if used to much. There seems to be some expression that reason is a force that is innate to man and so in saying so one does not need to overexert themselves to use it. Thus, reason is the understanding of life nike air max 2017 femme pas cher , mortality, and virtue, and is the creation of all things expressed in a balanced form within mankind.
