Abstract

It is possible to see that in the discourse on an ethics of virtues, Plato and Aristotle on many occasions are presented as obligatory referents. The problem that we observe is that in many scientific productions, most not in the Philosophy area, these are cited as those who initiated and founded the rationality of virtue, ethics and morality, without making distinctions between the two, when there are distances. It is not entirely correct to characterize them as equals. This article aims to show that although it is correct to say that Plato and Aristotle conceive virtue as a reflection and a constant rational attitude, there are important differences between the two when it comes to an ethic of virtue.
