Aristotle On The Desire Of Moral Virtue

Ethical virtue is an important category in Aristotle’s ethics.Virtue does not refer to the virtue of the body,but the virtue of the soul.The nutritional part and the sensory part(desire)are the irrational parts of the soul.The division of virtue is based on the division of the soul,and the nutritional part does not belong to human virtue Sex,rational virtue corresponds to the rational part of the soul,and the desire part corresponds to ethical virtue.Practice,as a feature of ethical virtue,shows that the realization of ethical virtue requires personal practice and action.Desire is considered as the provider of behavior motivation in On the Soul Desire can be divided into three categories: physiological desire,anger,and hope.Desire is formed by the participation of activities such as feeling,imagination,and reason.Desire cannot be separated from imagination.Feeling The imagining of the mind is connected with the imagining of the irrational animal and the positional movement of the rational(animal),both of which play a certain role in the purpose setting and positional movement of desire.The first part of the article summarizes Aristotle’s discussion on the definition of soul,division of soul,and the relationship between virtue and soul in "On the Soul" and "Nicomachean Ethics",and discusses on the basis of division of soul The contents of the established division of virtues,ethical virtues,and intellectual virtues are summarized,especially Aristotle’s discussion on natural ethical virtues and ethical virtues in a strict sense is statedThe second part of the article discusses the part of desire corresponding to ethical virtue.Desire,as the corresponding part of ethical virtue,can be divided into three categories,physiological desire,anger,and hope.The difference between the three lies in the different objects of desire.In this part,the sensation,imagination,and intellectual activities involved in the formation of desire are also discussed.The main function of sensation is to form pain and pleasure,and the main function of imagination is to preserve and reproduce the pleasure and pain formed by sensation.Make another judgment on the image provided by the imagination.The third part of the article is the discussion of Aristotle’s discussion on the motivation of behavior,discussing Aristotle’s opinions on the two motivations of behavior,and expounding that the desire part is the motivation part of behavior.The imagination of feeling and the imagination of thinking are also related to the movement of position.Imagination provides "material" for rational thinking and explains the generation of involuntary behavior.The generation of movement is inseparable from desire and the object of desire,but it does not mean that Without the rational element,intellectual deliberation,by unifying the content provided by the imagination,by uniting with desire,causes motion with intellectual wish.
