Question

multiple choice question
identify a true statement about platos views of ethics.
he noted that ethics means living a life of logic, developing friendships, and achieving happiness and fulfillment through being an excellent human.
he maintained that there are many specific virtues and even more than one general kind of virtue.
he held that understanding the meaning of a virtue was necessary but not sufficient to make one virtuous.
he held that virtuous leaders should be placed in positions of political power so that the good decisions they make will benefit the rest of society.

Explanation:

Plato believed in the philosopher - king concept, where virtuous leaders (philosophers who are wise and virtuous) should hold political power to make beneficial decisions for society. He did not define ethics as simply living a life of logic and developing friendships for happiness. He thought there was one over - arching virtue (justice) with other virtues being parts of it. Also, for Plato, true knowledge of virtue would lead to virtuous actions.

Answer:

He held that virtuous leaders should be placed in positions of political power so that the good decisions they make will benefit the rest of society.
