The article cites his works on happiness, but I scanned several times and couldn't find which works I should read about the subject. I'm fairly ignorant about Aristotle's teachings, writings and only have a knowledge of who the man was. So I'm a bit lost as to which to begin with, targeting the article's focus on his ideas of happiness. Suggestions?
- seanstickle 8y agoAristotle's Nicomachean Ethics tackles happiness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicomachean_Ethics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicomachean_Ethics "Let us resume our inquiry and state, in view of the fact that all knowledge and every pursuit aims at some good, what it is that we say political science aims at and what is the highest of all goods achievable by action. Verbally there is very general agreement; for both the general run of men and people of superior refinement say that it is happiness, and identify living well and doing well with being happy; but with regard to what happiness is they differ, and the many do not give the same account as the wise."
