The distinction between virtues and vices is often shaped by cultural, philosophical, and historical contexts, as well as the impact of religious and ethical systems. Societies typically identify virtues as traits that promote individual and communal well-being, such as kindness and honesty, while vices are seen as detrimental behaviors, like greed and deceit. Philosophers like Aristotle emphasized the importance of reason and the "golden mean" in determining virtues, suggesting that virtues are qualities that foster human flourishing. Ultimately, the consensus on what constitutes virtues and vices evolves through ongoing dialogue and reflection within communities.

What is Character according to Aristotle?
According to Aristotle, character is a set of dispositions or traits that define and distinguish an individual's moral virtues and vices. A person's character is formed by their habitual actions and choices, which in turn shape their moral character and ultimately influence their decisions and behaviors. Aristotle believed that cultivating virtuous character traits, such as courage, temperance, and justice, is fundamental to leading a good and fulfilling life.

What did Aristotle warn every one?
Most broadly speaking, things can be classed into categories. Examples of categories are individual things, actions, and qualities. (There are other categories too.) Of course, virtues and vices are qualities of individuals. But they are not qualities of the body, the physical dimension of a person. Hairiness and physical strength are qualities of the body. Virtues and vices are qualities of the soul. Now we can divide the qualities of the soul into three types:a) potentialities, like the capacity to feel passions such as fear or anger or love b) dispositions or states; these are stable qualities, like courage or cowardice. (There are states of character, such as moral virtues and vices; and there are intellectual states, such as practical wisdom and scientific knowledge.) c) passions themselves, like fear or anger Virtues and vices are not passions, though they affect how we experience the passions. Nor are they mere potentialities, because these are things we are born with. We are not born virtuous or vicious. That means, by elimination, that they must be dispositions or states.
