Abstract

The present article throws light on an interpretative study of Aristotle’s Virtue Ethics and its role in the upgradation of society and human character. The article focuses on the fundamental principles of the theory and its key tools. People regard justice as the main principle of institutions in the contemporary world. Accepting the role of justice, Aristotle foregrounds the Virtue of Character and asserts that proper justice can be achieved by acquiring a virtuous character. While defining Justice, Aristotle mentions that virtue can be achieved when citizens act in a justified way and desire only what is just. The individual should be aware of inborn virtues and vices, which form the core values.  The virtues and vices are transparent, and anyone can possess them through practice.
