For Logic Philosophy a) find premises one conclusion thentranslate your premises and conclusion then use the truth tables tosee if this argument is valid or not!

5. Next we must consider what virtue is. Since things that arefound in the soul are of three kinds- passions, faculties, statesof character, virtue must be one of these. By passions I meanappetite, anger, fear, confidence, envy, joy, friendly feeling,hatred, longing, emulation, pity, and in general the feelings thatare accompanied by pleasure or pain; by faculties the things invirtue of which we are said to be capable of feeling these, e.g. ofbecoming angry or being pained or feeling pity; by states ofcharacter the things in virtue of which we stand well or badly withreference to the passions, e.g. with reference to anger we standbadly if we feel it violently or too weakly, and well if we feel itmoderately; and similarly with reference to the other passions.
Now neither the virtues nor the vices are passions, because weare not called good or bad on the ground of our passions, but areso called on the ground of our virtues and our vices, and becausewe are neither praised nor blamed for our passions (for the man whofeels fear or anger is not praised, nor is the man who simply feelsanger blamed, but the man who feels it in a certain way), but forour virtues and our vices we are praised or blamed.
Again, we feel anger and fear without choice, but the virtuesare modes of choice or involve choice. Further, in respect of thepassions we are said to be moved, but in respect of the virtues andthe vices we are said not to be moved but to be disposed in aparticular way.
For these reasons also they are not faculties; for we areneither called good nor bad, nor praised nor blamed, for the simplecapacity of feeling the passions; again, we have the faculties bynature, but we are not made good or bad by nature; we have spokenof this before. If, then, the virtues are neither passions norfaculties, all that remains is that they should be states ofcharacter.
Thus we have stated what virtue is in respect of its genus
a) We will use an argument from Aristotle for this. The argumentis attached below. You will submit your list of premises andconclusion listing and numbering the premises first, and thenlisting the conclusions (the premises and conclusion are separatedby a line). If it is not accurate, you will have an opportunity torevise the list of your premises and conclusion until you have itcompleted accurately. Here are some clues to help you with this.One premise is found early in the first paragraph. The secondpremise is in the second paragraph, and the third premises is inthe final full paragraph. And the conclusion is at the end of thefinal full paragraph. (The last line does not count as aparagraph.)
b) In this you will take the premises and conclusion fromthat assignment and use translate them to do a complete translationof the argument from Aristotle. You will submit your translation.If it is not accurate, you will have an opportunity to revise thetranslation until you have it completed accurately.
c) In this you will take the translated argument andcomplete a truth table and determine whether the Aristotle argumentis valid. You can type this out or attach a picture/file of yourhandwritten work. If it is not accurate, you will have anopportunity to revise the table until you have it completedaccurately.
