Aristotle's writings have been read more or less continuously since ancient times, and his ethical treatises in particular continue to inflence philosophers working today. Aristotle emphasized the importance of developing excellence (virtue) of character (Greek ethikē aretē), as the way to achieve what is finally more important, excellent conduct (Greek energeia). As Aristotle argues in Book II of the Nicomachean Ethics, the man who possesses character excellence does the right thing, at the right time, and in the right way. Bravery, and the correct regulation of one's bodily appetites, are examples of character excellence or virtue. So acting bravely and acting temperately are examples of excellent activities. The highest aims are living well and eudaimonia a Greek word often translated as well-being, happiness or "human flourishing". Like many ethicists, Aristotle regards excellent activity as pleasurable for the man of virtue. For example, Aristotle thinks that the man whose appetites are in the correct order actually takes pleasure in acting moderately.

Aristotle emphasized that virtue is practical, and that the purpose of ethics is to become good, not merely to know. Aristotle also claims that the right course of action depends upon the details of a particular situation, rather than being generated merely by applying a law. The type of wisdom which is required for this is called "prudence" or "practical wisdom" (Greek phronesis), as opposed to the wisdom of a theoretical philosopher (Greek sophia). But despite the importance of practical decision making, in the final analysis the original Aristotelian and Socratic answer to the question of how best to live, at least for the best types of human, was to live the life of philosophy.

Natalija [7]

The correct answer is C) France.

Although you forgot to attach the map, we did some deep research and can say that the imperial nation that appears to have the most dominance in Africa is France.

After France, it was Great Britain that had the most dominance in Africa.

We are talking about the years of the Scramble for Africa, a period in history in which Africa had been taken by European superpowers such as  Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, or Portuga

These countries colonized the territories of the African continent and even formed new territories that fit their political and economic interests. The Scramble for Africa started approximately in 1881 and by 1914, most of Africa had been taken over by Europeans. European nations were only interested in exploiting the raw materials and natural resources of Africa.
