More about the book

Aristotle's conception of happiness is explored as a complex notion distinct from mere pleasure, emphasizing the role of virtuous actions, contemplation, and friendships in achieving true happiness. The book argues that external goods like wealth and health are also essential to this state. It addresses objections regarding the nature of happiness and includes a comparative analysis of Aristotle and Confucius, highlighting their shared views on virtue ethics, the importance of education in recognizing virtue, and the role of laws in promoting virtuous behavior.
