    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Habituation builds reliable behavioral patterns through repetition, while deliberation each time leaves room for weakness of will and inconsistency.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A virtuous person acts from stable character, not from calculating consequences each time, which distinguishes genuine virtue from mere compliance.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Practical wisdom (phronesis) itself requires deliberation about particulars; habituation alone cannot determine right action in novel situations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Virtuous agents must sometimes reconsider inherited habits when circumstances change, implying deliberation is part of maintaining rather than opposing virtue.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Blind habituation risks ingraining vicious or contextually inappropriate dispositions if initial training lacks reasoned foundations and flexibility.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
