I decided to read one essay each evening from Lost and Philosophy (I picked up this book well over a year ago and finally deicided to slog through it)–that is until I read this:

“In contrast to these action-based moral theories is a moral theory dating back to Aristotle (384-322 BCE) which places emphasis on the soul/psyche/mind/disposition/character (for our purposes these all mean the same thing, but we’ll continue to use the word character) from which the moral action stems” (Arp and Brace 34).

Huh wha?  You’re actually saying that all FIVE of those terms mean the same thing??  I think I’m done with the book now…
