Aristotle’s “Pride is the Crown of the Virtues”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing what Aristotle meant by claiming that pride is the crown of the virtues. Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) discusses in Nicomachean Ethics (350 BC) the virtue of pride. In fact he notes that “Pride, then, seems to be a sort of crown of the virtues; for it makes them greater, and it is not found without them”. Pride in the sense of Aristotle is not arrogance but in fact is the virtue of respecting oneself and “without it, one would have no reason to trust one’s ability to live”. Man is considered vain on the other hand when he has the tendency to evaluate oneself too highly and humble if he does not evaluate himself at his own worth, whereas pride is “a rational evaluation of oneself” (Aristotle, 2003ab). Pride is the crown of the virtues because it depends upon a man’s complete goodness and balance of the virtues where a man must firstly realize his own worth, maintain this worth and goodness, and not over- or underestimate his own worth and goodness – a challenge in honor which places pride above the other virtues yet still depends upon their maintenance to be attained.

Aristotle’s Philosophy, Science, and the Christian Church
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the philosophy of Aristotle (384 -322 BCE) and its impact on Christianity. According to Aristotle, the human soul is made up of rational and non-rational elements. One has the ability to reason about things within itself, and understand mathematics and other theoretical sciences. The other listens to reason “as one would listen to a father.” Certainly, the connection between the thinking of Aristotle and that of Christianity becomes obvious in that one statement. Many other parallels exist between Aristotle’s thinking and the attitudes of the Christian church in terms of science, medicine, and other physical truths of the universe.
