1. Explain the virtue of magnanimity and two other moral virtues from Book IV. Explain
them in as much detail as possible. Your answer should address the following questions:
What are the extremes that we should avoid? How are pleasure and pain related to the
intermediary or mean? How and in what way is the intermediary (or mean) contextual,
particularistic and relative?

Magnanimity as a virtue concerns itself with greatness. A person who is magnanimous deems
himself worthy of greatness and great things. People who think that they are usually worthy of
great things but are not are said to be vain. Pusillanimous people see themselves as being worth
less than they really are. People who are magnanimous usually make great claims of themselves.
They have to be of good character and be the best of who they are. They are full of vain and
deficient of pusillanimous. Goods usually add to magnanimity but it is not always necessary or
enough. Some of the people who are not magnanimous will try to imitate magnanimity and
become either abusive or aggressive.
Honor and dishonor usually reflect greatly on a magnanimous person. Magnanimous people
usually display greatness among strong and great people while they are moderate among
ordinary people. They are usually more concerned with what is true rather than people’s
opinions. People should avoid being pusillanimous and vain. Being pusillanimous makes us
devaluate ourselves....
