"Virtues are stable states of character and intellectual capacity that enable an agent to engage in excellent activities and to understand what makes them excellent." (p.5)
"Recent décades have been increasingly receptive to Aristotle." (p.
"Aristotle did not regard metaphysics as a set of principles and claims from which the principles and claims of other sciences could be derived. They each have their own first principles in accord with the natures of things of the genus in question. Metaphysics is "first philosophy" in the sense that it is the study of substance without regard to membership in this or that genus. Aristotel believed that his metaphysics would explicate the conceptions needed to pursue complete accounts of all aspects of reality (as a single, unified order). But that is not the same as holding that there is one science that explicates all of reality entirely in its own terms without regard to the various genera of real kinds." (p.66)
"Aristotle did not interpret this as the state imposing on the lives of individuals and curtailing their liberty. Given his understanding of the very purpose of political association, of course it is necessary and appropriate for the state to have an active role in making the citizens "good and just". The view that moral commitments and virtue are private matters and that the point of law is mainly to regulate and coordinate public behavior would have struck him as implausible." (p.160)
