Critically reflect on the virtue ethics we find in the works of Plato as he portrays the character of his beloved friend and teacher, Socrates, as compared to the account of virtue we find in Aristotle’s teachings.

The paper has to answer the following questions.What are the fundamental components of being a virtuous person, or living “the good life,” in the view of Socrates and Plato? What is the basis of virtue on Aristotle’s account? What do these two accounts of virtue have in common and what are some important differences? Is Aristotle’s view an advance of that of his teacher, Plato? Why or why not? Do you agree with Aristotle that there is a purpose or future goal that is essential to human existence? Be sure to include in your discussion a consideration of how this sort of teleological view of human nature influences Aristotle’s ethics.
