Nicomachean Ethics is an ancient Grecian interpretation of what is now called “virtue ethics‚” a philosophical approach to morality that considers character rather than one’s duties in life or rules of one’s government. Aristotle contemplates issues such as a person’s purpose‚ rational thought‚ ethical actions‚ how one should frame one’s traits to be beneficial‚ and the undoubtedly lovely after-effects of acting on his advice. This seems adequate enough to serve as a useful tool of philosophical

“Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples‚ and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will‚ not by the will of their people. “ President Woodrow Wilson spoke these words to set the tone for the war his country was going to fight in.

ETHICAL NEUTRALITY In what follows‚ when we use the term “evaluation” we will mean‚ where nothing else is implied or expressly stated‚ practical value-judgments as to the unsatisfactory or satisfactory character of phenomena subject to our influence.

Many religions and people make daily assumptions and decisions with insufficient evidence. People believe in politicians based
