Compare the classical thoughts of Plato and Aristotle on living a good life. Plato believes "knowing the good makes one does the good." This implies that "knowing the good first is a prerequisite in doing the good and ignorance to the good makes one does evil. Aristotle challenged his teacher's (Plato's) idea. He believed that "moral activities (of person) are human par excellence" --meaning: acting morally is the highest expression of what it is to be human.

Expert Solution

Morality is something that people decide, but they often do not make the best choice. It is a decision that supports their beliefs. Because of this, it has been argued that choosing one belief over another may be a more scientific way of making decisions — an argument from authority. For one to decide on this view, they may weigh their options and decide which is preferable for future situations (Tappin & Capraro, 2018). One may also believe that morality should be based on some authority. This would mean that one should follow the rules set forth by someone. This person could be a religious leader, spiritual leader, or some other type of authority. The issue with this approach is that a person has to base his decisions on the rules set forth by someone else without being able to question them if he feels like it is morally wrong in any way.
