Question 1: Aristotle uses the function argument to "outline" his account of happiness. Using examples, explain what Aristotle means in the context of this argument when he speaks of a "function", and of "virtue"? What is the function of the human being? How on the basis of this argument does Aristotle define happiness? Where does virtue fit in this definition?
Question 2: What according to Aristotle is virtue? In order to answer this question you will need to explain (using examples where appropriate): how, according to Aristotle, we acquire a virtuous character; the ways in which virtue is both like and unlike an artistic skill; what he means when he says that for a virtuous person doing a virtuous thing becomes "second nature" what role the emotions play in virtue; and the sense in which virtue aims at the "intermediate". Identify one thing that you find either attractive or unattractive about the view? Explain briefly.
