Aristotle, according to the author, depicts the way in which human acts of various
sorts and in various combinations determine the logical structure of moral character.
Some moral characters--or character types--manage to incorporate a high degree of
practical consistency; others incorporate less, without forfeiting their basic orientation
toward the good. Still others approach utter inconsistency or moral deprivation, although
even these, insofar as they are responsible for their actions, retain a core element
of rationality in their souls. According to Aristotle, moral character depends ultimately
on the structure of individual acts and on how they fit together into a whole that
is consistent--or not consistent--with justice and friendship.--From publisher's description
