​How To Develop A Virtuous Character - Aristotle (Aristotelianism)

In this video we bring you ​​how to develop a virtuous character from the philosophy of Aristotle. His philosophy is often referenced as Aristotelianism.

Aristotle defined virtues as dispositions to choose good actions and passions, informed by moral knowledge of several sorts. For Aristotle, virtues can be intellectual or moral, the intellectual ones are learned by instruction or education, the moral ones are developed by habits. Performing virtuous acts can be motivated by having a practical purpose or by the desire to act in a virtuous way or by both. In this video, we will explore what one might need to develop virtuous character in accordance with Aristotle’s Virtue Ethics Theory. The three ways to develop your character are -
01. Adopt a Virtuous Mindset
02. Practice Practical Wisdom
03. Contemplate and Reflect
I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these three ways to develop your character from the philosophy of Aristotle will add value to your life.

Aristotle is a Promethean figure in the history of the world, who lived between 384–322 BC, He is considered "the father” of logic, biology, political science, zoology, embryology, of natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism and even of meteorology. He was first a student of Plato, then, when Plato retired, he left the Academia which Plato founded, and he became the tutor of Alexander The Great, and the two other future kings: Ptolemy and Cassander. He established a library in the Lyceum which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on papyrus scrolls. Unfortunately, only a third of his magnificent work has survived. For example, the treatises “Physics”, “Metaphysics”, “Nicomachean Ethics”, “Politics”, “On the Soul” and “Poetics”, have influenced more than two millennia of scientists and theologians alike, both fascinated by his ideas.

Aristotle says “Virtue lies in our power, and similarly so does vice; because where it is in our power to act, it is also in our power not to act …”

More than 2000 years have passed and this simple and clear lesson has not influenced the way people think and act.
This shows us that most people prefer to be slaves to some mental garbage than to make a continuous effort of self-control and inner self-contemplation.
It seems that even the prospect of extinction fails to wake them up from this historical hypnosis.
