Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Aristotelian Naturalism (AN) has enjoyed a surge of interest in recent decades, and the field is now ripe for elaborations that go beyond, or critique, its traditional formulations. If we are to take seriously challenges to AN emerging from advances in feminist philosophy, disability theory, and social sciences, while taking seriously its naturalism we need to provide an empirical update to the account of human goodness and virtue. On the pluralist form of AN developed here, human goodness is not a single, unitary ideal out of reach for the majority world. Instead, following mundane evaluative practice and thought as well as social scientific evidence, I argue that people in a wide range of bodily, social, and environmental contexts can and do flourish. Moreover, people exhibit a variety of distinct forms of human goodness, all equally valuable, and different sets of virtues fit them for flourishing in these discrete contexts. This means that the ethical terrain is rather complex, populated by a multitude of peaks that people can ascend by a variety of paths rather than a single mountain we all should try to summit from wherever we are. Once we recognize the genuine diversity of forms human good lives take, and how the virtues suited for one type of life might simultaneously enable us to achieve other forms of flourishing, we will see how most people are for most of their lives simultaneously being and becoming good.</jats:p>
