Question

Euripedes is a fictional student of Aristotle. Following his teacher’s line of thought, Euripedes proudly declares his commitment to civic association, that the true test of a person’s worth is in what the individual does, not in personal characteristics. Euripedes fails to examine the fact that the principle of civic association excludes what?

Answer 1

Answer: Women

Explanation: Euripides followed and respected Aristotle's idea of ​​civic association. According to Aristotle's principle of civic association, everyone is put to the test of how much they contribute to the community, because that test checks what everyone in the community is actually doing and thus tests his contribution. So the contribution is tested on the basis of the act, not on what someone believes in, or his personal characteristics, or what he was. And this Aristotle's principle excluded women, because he believed that women and men were naturally different, both physically and mentally. According to Aristotle, women are less simple, naughty, compassionate and more impulsive than men.
