Week 4 Discussion [WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 3, 4, 5]
<
This week our main discussion will focus on explaining and
evaluating the theory of virtue ethics as discussed in Chapter 5
of the textbook. Your instructor will be choosing the discussion
question and posting it as the first post in the main discussion
forum. The requirements for the discussion this week include
the following:
You must begin posting by Day 3 (Thursday).
You must post a minimum of four separate posts on at least
three separate days (e.g., Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, or
Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, or Thursday, Saturday, and
Monday, etc.).
The total combined word count for all of your posts, counted
together, should be at least 600 words, not including references.
You must answer all the questions in the prompt and show
evidence of having read the resources that are required to
complete the discussion properly (such as by using quotes,
referring to specific points made in the text, etc.).
In order to satisfy the posting requirements for the week, posts
must be made by Day 7 (Monday); posts made after Day 7 are
welcome but will not count toward the requirements.
Be sure to reply to your classmates and instructor. You are
encouraged to read posts your instructor makes (even if they are
not in response to your own post) and reply to those as a way of
examining the ideas in greater depth.
All postings (including replies to peers) are expected to be
thought out, proofread for mechanical, grammatical, and
spelling accuracy, and to advance the discussion in an
intelligent and meaningful way (i.e., saying something like “I
really enjoyed what you had to say” will not count). You are
also encouraged to do outside research and quote from that as
well.
For more information, please read the
Frequently Asked Questions
.
This discussion will be assessed on a 10-point scale and is
worth 4% of your final grade.

Discussion 1: Virtue and Teleology
To ensure that your initial post starts its own unique thread, do
not reply to this post. Instead, please click the "Reply" link
above this post.
Please read the general discussion requirements above, as well
as the announcements explaining the discussion requirements
and answering the most frequently asked questions. If you are
still unsure about how to proceed with the discussion, please
reply to one of those announcements or contact your instructor.
Please carefully read and think about the entire prompt before
composing your first post. This discussion will require you to
have carefully read Chapter 5 of the textbook, as well as the
assigned portions of Aristotle’s (1931)
Nicomachean Ethics
.
Aristotle’s account of ethics is “teleological”, which means that
our understanding of virtue and living well is based on a sense
of the “telos” (function, purpose, or end) of something (see
Aristotle’s text and the textbook for the full account).
Engage with the text:
Using at least one quote from the required text(s), explain the
relation between virtue and living well on Aristotle’s account,
and briefly describe some of the key characteristics of the
virtues.
Reflect on yourself:
Identify an area of your life in which virtues are needed to do
well. Explain what the “telos” of that role or activity is, what
virtues are needed and why they are needed, and what would be
lost if someone tried to be successful in that activity who didn’t
exercise the virtues. This might be a role you have, a vocation
or career, a hobby, or something common to all of us.
Reflect on virtue:
In what ways do the virtues you identify display the
characteristics Aristotle describes? For instance, you could
explain whether they occupy an intermediate between too much
and too little of some quality, how they would affect one’s
emotions as well as ones actions, etc.
Discuss with your peers:
Discuss with your peers the answers they gave to these
questions, and offer your own additional reflections, questions,
challenges, etc. You could consider possible ways in which the
virtues may conflict with each other, or may conflict with the
virtues needed in other areas of one’s life; whether practicing
virtue in these activities may lead to
less
success as measured by, say, financial benefit or recognition;
and so on.
