Respond to TWO of the following questions:

 

1.      In your view, does Aristotle’s logic do anything to undercut the relativism spawned by the sophists’ teaching of rhetoric? Explain your answer.

2.      Aristotle thinks that people have to be virtuous to be happy. Do you agree with him? Why or why not?

3.      Would Aristotle say that it is possible for an alcoholic to practice moderate alcohol use, or is virtue complete abstention in that example? Do you think moderation is an “all or nothing” proposition? Reference Aristotle’s thought when replying.

4.      We read that young people attracted to gang life are seeking “respect.” Write an Aristotelian critique of this motivation.
