    ARISTOTLE ’S EUDAIMONIA Eudaimonia stands for happiness in Greek. Aristotle argues that the highest good for human beings is happiness. He insists that every action performed by humans is to pursue happiness. Aristotle also argues that human action is always aimed at some end or good.

    Aristotle on Causality 1. Introduction Aristotle was not the first person to engage in a causal investigation of the world around us.
