Neither aristotle nor dante have any purchase in contemporary philosophy. If some peoples revulsion towards the subject amounts to how cretins are put forward as the great minds...well...they're not. Those cretins are a historic oddity and curio, but no longer relevant to the enterprise itself.
People used to wonder about right and wrong as it relates to some great spirit..but..today, they wonder if peoples rights and wrongs might be predicted and graphed mathematically as an observation we could draw some worthwhile conclusion from.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
