I argue that Aristotle's account of the voluntary in the Eudemian Ethics emerges as a response to the following kind of Platonic challenge: virtuous activity is not up to human beings, because if it were up to people to be virtuous, then they would be virtuous. Since human beings fail to be virtuous, this must be because it is not up to human beings to be virtuous. This kind of Platonic challenge has deep kinship with various arguments by which Plato argues that no one does wrong voluntarily. These sorts of challenges do not focus on whether the agent have open choices; rather, they focus on the hindrances that prevent human beings from attaining the best things in life. That is, it is the failure to attain the good things in life that suggest that human beings do not possess what it takes to attain the good things in life. These clusters of challenge, I shall argue, are undergirded by the following view of the voluntary: whether an action is voluntary is entirely a matter of whether the agent wants to do the action. According to Plato, the desire for the good is the central factor that determines whether an action is voluntary. In responding to these challenges, Aristotle not only seeks to show that it is up to human beings to be virtuous but also seeks to dismantle the underlying view of the voluntary that defines the voluntariness in terms of the agent's desire.In response to the Platonic challenge, Aristotle develops the view that human beings are controlling origin of their actions. has two major payoffs. In explicating what it takes for human beings to be the controlling origins of their actions, Aristotle offers an arrestingly simple requirement on responsibility: if an agent is responsible for their action, then the action must be because of the agent and not because of anything else. That is, according to Aristotle, it is not sufficient that our actions are dependent on us (as compatibilists interpretations of Aristotle assume). Aristotle requires that our actions must be dependent only on us.
