While Aristotle had no opportunity to engage in a dialogue with the actual Socrates, Burger shows that he did dialogue with "Socrates," a construction by Aristotle which also allowed Aristotle to frame the topic of ethical virtue in a manner that defends ethical virtue as well as implying certain problems with it.
