b. The mean equidistant between extremes, one and the same for all

Explanation:

Aristotle defends the moral virtue as a behavior in the right manner as means between the extremes of deficiencies and excesses which according to him are the vices and moral virtue is then a medium connected with the choices. Thus means relative to us and is determined by the rational choices which a man of practical wisdom could find. The extreme are contrary to the intermediate state and alos each other and the intermediate are to the extremes.
