What does the quote assume a virtue if you have it not mean?

The quote "Assume a virtue if you have it not" means that if you don't naturally possess a certain quality or virtue, you should still try to act as if you do. This can lead to the development of that virtue through practice and habit, ultimately becoming a part of your character.


How do you determine the Golden Mean for every virtue Is that possible?

"Our job as human beings is to use our rationality to find the golden mean in every virtue and then to practice and live it until it becomes a habit." Virtue to Aristotle meant the excellence of a specific thing. The virtue of a knife is that it cuts well; the virtue of a teacher is that he or she imparts knowledge successfully to others. The virtue of human beings in general is our rationality. To determine the specific virtue of a specific thing simply ask what purpose that thing serves in society. Aristotle, however, believed that virtues can be pushed to the point where they are no longer virtues. So he emphasized seeking "the golden mean" in each virtue. Courage is a virtue, but too little courage becomes cowardice and too much becomes recklessness. In between these two extremes is the golden mean of courage. Our job as human beings is to use our rationality to find the golden mean in every virtue and then to practice and live it until it becomes a habit. Being a virtuous person can be hard at times. Remember the first time you had to be honest with someone and deliver bad news? But, as you continued to be honest with people, it became easier-and part of your character.
