| Abstract: |
Aristotle owned slaves and held racist and misogynist views. If anyone today engaged in the same practices or held Aristotle's views, that person would be judged harshly. However, we do not judge Aristotle particularly harshly. Should we? What standard of virtue ought we apply in judging the characters of people who lived in remote times and places? This is the question I discuss in this paper. I consider and reject several alternatives and then propose a new one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
