    Key Terms

    Aristotelian
    "Aristotelian" refers to ideas and methods based on the teachings of Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago. He emphasized observing the real world, using common sense reasoning, and organizing knowledge into logical categories—rather than relying solely on abstract ideas. His approach heavily influenced Western thought, science, and education for centuries, making him one of the most important thinkers in history.
    Habituated dispositions(as where Aristotle locates moral excellence)
    Deeply ingrained habits and tendencies developed through repeated practice, like how a musician's fingers naturally find the right keys through years of playing.
    Parenting practice(as used in ethics)
    The actual ways a parent acts and behaves when raising their child.
    Procreative deliberation(as used in ethics)
    Careful thinking and decision-making someone does before or while deciding to have children.
