I immediately had to think of Tao Lin’s Schopenhauer mentions and did a quick internet search to see whether I could find it quoted somewhere.

>mfw instead I stumble upon this massive essay on Tao Lin’s writing (also mentioning Schopenhauer a number of times)

>Aristotelian ethics

>you learn the virtues by imitating the virtuous
>but how is the unvirtuous man to know who is virtuous? for if he knows not the virtues, he cannot recognize activity in accordance with them, and if he knows the virtues, then he is already virtuous

Recognizing virtue is heavily tied to proper education and communal norms. Aristotle wasn't a modern philosopher writing about an individualist ethical system to follow wholly apart from tradition, he was, in the contemporary wording, a communitarian. If one's upbringing is fucked the chances of reaching virtue are pretty slim.

I was making a Platonic objection, so the 'anachronism' objection is a bit misplaced

Man you fucked that up.

Virtue is comprised of the practice of philosophical wisdom and practical wisdom with the habituation of living within the golden mean of character traits (not in excess or in deficiency).
