Why does Aristotle place such heavy emphasis Saylor @The Foundat

Question 14 / 59: Why does Aristotle place such heavy emphasis on virtue at the personal level after stating that his purpose is to find the highest good for which virtuous action is undertaken, and that the science concerned with this good is political science?

A For Aristotle, virtue at the personal level and in politics are not distinct spheres. There
is but one sphere—politics conceived in ethical terms—so he begins with an investigation
of personal virtue.

B For Aristotle, virtue at the personal level and in politics are distinct but related spheres,
and on the basis of logic, he begins with virtue at the personal level.

C Although the legislative architecture and the common ends at which a city-state aims might
be virtuous, it is often the case that political rulers are corrupt, so Aristotle begins with
an investigation of personal virtue.

D Aristotle makes the argument that governments can only be as virtuous as individual citizens
allow them to be, so he begins with an investigation of personal virtue.
