Aristotle on Habituation, Voluntariness, and Moral Responsibility: To What Extent is Virtue Up to Us?

Abstract

This thesis explores Aristotle's theories of habituation and voluntariness and their impact on his ability to attribute moral responsibility to agents. Ultimately, I conclude that Aristotle should drop his assertions that we are morally responsible for our states of character in order to accommodate a compatibilist view that will still allow him to attribute moral responsibility for action to agents
