ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION THROUGHLY. ANSWER ALL ASPECTS OF THE QUESTION.
Think about the following virtues: courage, temperance,
friendliness, and generosity. Now imagine a state that was attempting to
encourage these virtues. What sorts of public policies might such a state
consider? Come up with a list of at least two policies per virtue. Then
consider the following: in what ways are the policies you are proposing
consistent or inconsistent with Aristotles vision of politics, and in what
ways are these policies consistent or inconsistent with the modern American
vision of politics? What light do the differences you come up with shed on both
of those visions? Which vision has it right? Note: you should pay special
attention to Aristotles vision of politics this is the key to the essay. You
also need to spell out Aristotles view on virtue. (Extra credit: In what ways
does the United States conform to Aristotles vision of politics? In what ways
does it reject that vision?)
