Do you think Aristotle’s idea of moderation is a good way to determine if something (a belief, an act, a hobby, a habit) is virtuous? Can we become more virtuous by choosing our habits? Is this an effective method to encourage or convince people to become more virtuous, to tell them that they will be happier if they are moderate? Why or why not?
