Nicomachean Ethics

   Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" analysis the term "good" as well as defines happiness as the highest of all goods achieved. Establishes the connection between happiness and virtue, as well as what is virtue and the two kinds of virtue. Aristotle gives his views of human nature and the function of humans. He covers the source of morality as well as what habituation has to do with becoming virtuous.

   First Aristotle analysis " good " and puts into terms what "good" is. He says that " every action and pursuit is thought to aim at some good. Meaning every action you take in your life and pursuit you make to find happiness has to have some good come out of it or be contained in it. And for this, while aiming for it you will find some good. There are three prominent types of life, enjoyment, political, and contemplative. Aristotle also defines happiness as being the highest of good, which i agree with because you think about living well and having a purpose in life as a good person making good decisions, the out come is going to be good. Otherwise what is the point of living without happiness. Happiness is desired in life, by which we can achieve by living out good things and making good decisions when it come to right and wrong, good and bad. Aristotle says that some think that pleasure, wealth or honor bring happiness, but all these things differ from one another and can be identified with different things. Happiness has a central purpose in life and leads to virtue. Virtue is achieved by maintaining happiness in my opinion because if your maintaining happiness and living your life out good, then virtue is in your life and your living high moral standards. In my opinion virtue is showing high moral standards and choosing to live a good life with good decisions. Aristotle defines virtue as behaving in the right manner and stating that we learn virtue through our habits and practices of our daily living. Aristotle says we choose virtue perhaps for the sake of happiness and for that we think that we shall be happy. There are two kinds of virtue that Aristotle talks about, intellectual virtue and moral virtue. Intellectual virtue requires experience and time, whereas moral virtue is a result of habit. I believe that happiness and virtue are connected by the way you live your life and the fact that if you have high standards for you living style, and your living your life good ( making the right decisions), then happiness is achieved through self fulfillment.
