![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I here give an outline sketch of a new interpretation of Aristotle’s remarks on this relationship and its ramifications for human happiness. Particularly controversial are his remarks on the relationship between, and especially the relative importance of, theoretical and practical activity in the ideal human life. Unfortunately, while the centrality of Aristotle’s theory of happiness is uncontroversial, there is no agreement about the content of his theory. AbstractĪristotle thinks that questions about how we should live as individuals and as communities must be answered with reference to a more fundamental question: What is the happy life for a human being? This question about happiness thus holds the key for the entire Aristotelian system of moral and political philosophy. “Happiness According to Aristotle.” CHS Research Bulletin 7 (2019).
