Summarize the views on virtue of the three philosophers: Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas. In other words, for each of these philosophers, answer the following questions: What is virtue? If virtue has any parts, what are those parts? If there is any important background information for their theory of virtue, discuss that too. Next, for each philosopher, discuss why should a person choose to be virtuous? Also, for each philosopher, how does virtue relate to happiness? Finally, discuss any strengths and/or weaknesses of their views.
