However, as I argue below, Harry is less a Platonic Philosopher-King than an exemplar of Aristotelian virtue—a phronimos, or practically wise moral agent, and a citizen-soldier in the mold of Nicomachean Ethics III.8-9 and Politics VII.14-15. He sees, I argue, that his best hope of realizing his ultimate values is to live, and to fight and (again) risk dying for a world that’s worth living in."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderethics of virtueAristotelian ethicsPlatoGlobal ethicsPolitical ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalPhilosophical ethicsGeneral theology/otherArticle
