Plato ranks among the greatest philosophers of
the world, and is viewed by many scholars as the
most important Philosopher of Western civilization.

The ethics of Aristotle is concerned with action, not as

corresponding to it is. (Copleston, 1993). Aristotle argued that virtues are good habits that we acquire, which regulate our
emotions.
