Moral Philosophy: Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics Moral Philosophy: Ethics from Socrates to Sex A Collection of Ethical Theories in a Nutshell as a Springboard to Moral Philosophy. Aristotle - Nicomachean Ethics (350 BC) To be good is to perform virtuous activity and Aristotle wrote that the good is what we strive for in itself as the end of our actions. In Nicomachean Ethics there are two kinds of virtue: the moral virtue and the intellectual virtue; moral being that which is learned from a parental figure and the latter being that which is learned from a teacher. Both virtues are the result of trained habits, this being the only way they are achieved and not as being innate attributes of a person. The mode of each action that is virtuous has an excess and a deficiency, thus to be good one must find the mean between the two.
