The Aristotelian Golden Mean is the idea that virtue lies between two extremes: excess and deficiency.
Aristotelian Golden mean is a virtue as the desirable middle ground between two extreme behaviors one is excess and other is deficiency. For Example:
We must be neither cowardly nor rashness but courageous -- too little courage is cowardice too much is recklness.
We must be neither stingy nor wasteful, but generous -- too little generosity is miserliness to much is extravagance.
We must be neither brutally blunt nor flattering, but honest-- too little honesty is deceit too much is brutal bluntness.
Each virtue shows how virtue s the balanced middle between harmful extreme of too little and too much.
