DESCRIPTION:<p>I argue that Aristotle&rsquo\;s conception of character-virtue in the&nbsp\;<em>Eudemian Ethics&nbsp\;</em>is modeled on the conception of courage that Plato introduces in Book 4 of the&nbsp\;<em>Republic.&nbsp\;</em>As a result\, character-virtue is a nonrational state. I then turn to the problem of how character-virtue\, conceived of as a nonrational state\, can make decision correct\, as Aristotle in&nbsp\;<em>EE&nbsp\;</em>II 11 holds that it does. I reconstruct and discuss his inventive solution of this problem. The paper sheds light not only on the&nbsp\;<em>Eudemian&nbsp\;</em>conception of character-virtue\, but also on the concepts of decision (<em>prohairesis)&nbsp\;</em>and practical wisdom (<em>phronēsis</em>)\, as they are employed in the&nbsp\;<em>Eudemian Ethics.</em></p>
