Aristotle: Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago and is one of the most influential thinkers in Western history. He studied nearly every subject—from animals and plants to politics and ethics—and developed practical ways of thinking that shaped how people understand the world. His ideas on logic, nature, and how to live a good life are still taught and debated today because he focused on observing the real world rather than just abstract theories.
Character dispositions(as what moral reasons become after being internalized): Stable habits or tendencies that consistently influence how a person behaves and makes decisions in similar situations.
Morally relevant features(the details that affect moral judgment): The facts about a situation that actually matter for deciding whether something is right or wrong.
Virtue ethics(in philosophy): An approach to ethics focused on developing good character traits (virtues like courage or honesty) rather than following rules or calculating outcomes.
