Eudaimonia: Aristotle's Conception of Happiness and the Human Ideal.
In the Nichomachean Ethics Aristotle tackles a number of fundamental ethical questions. Chief among these is his consideration of the nature of happiness. As he argues, happiness is related to the fulfilment of the human function, which he takes to be acting in soulful accordance with reason. This essay will outline Aristotle's views on the subject, and offer a critique emphasising the way in which Aristotle's definition of the human function neglects to value non-intellectual modes of life. 5 pgs. 9 f/c. 4b.
