    This document summarizes key authors and concepts in ethics. Aristotle discussed virtue ethics and defined virtue as a mean between excess and deficiency that is acquired through practice. He believed the purpose of life is happiness achieved through reason and virtue. Thomas Aquinas discussed natural law theory, defining law as legislation made by a community for the common good. He described eternal, natural, and human law, with natural law reflecting God's law in creation. Natural law's first precept is to do good and avoid evil.
