Aristotle’s Doctrine of the Mean is central to his ethical philosophy, suggesting that virtue lies between the extremes of excess and deficiency. It advocates for balance in character and decision-making to achieve moral virtue and personal fulfillment. The doctrine applies to various virtues such as courage, temperance, and generosity. It emphasizes practical wisdom and contributes to eudaimonia, or human flourishing, by promoting balanced living, moral development, and harmony with nature, thus guiding individuals towards a good and fulfilling life.
Heraclitus of Ephesus, a pre-Socratic philosopher, profoundly influenced early Greek thought with his exploration of change and reality. Born around 535 BCE in Ephesus, a key city in Ionia, he lived during an era marked by a shift from mythological to rational explanations of the world. Known for his doctrine of flux (“everything flows”) and the unity of opposites, Heraclitus argued that change is the essence of the universe. Despite his reclusive lifestyle and conflicts with Ephesus’s leaders, his cryptic writings gained posthumous recognition, solidifying his role as a seminal philosophical figure.
