It is difficult to know who exactly was the first to articulate the idea that the "middle way" (meaning a person making a decision should avoid the two extremes) is the most sensible and moderate path to take. But it is generally credited to the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322), even though the Chinese philosopher Confucius may have expressed something very similar.
