- What is the author's main argument?
- How does he support his main argument (evidence, ancillary arguments, etc.)?
- Relate the author's discussion of human happiness and misery to the issue of virtue ethics with specific reference to Aristotle's Virtue Theory (in chapter 2 of the textbook " Disputed Moral Issues" by Mark Timmons).
