What sort of human behavior might be deemed not only proper but justified within the framework of Aristotelian virtue ethics? The present study takes up this question on the basis of medieval Aristotle reception, in the work of Thomas Aquinas in particular. It reveals there is great philosophical promise – from a methodic and systematic perspective – in combining virtue ethics with ethical universalism.
