A highest good would solve this‚ but it must be a means to itself‚ self-sufficient and within reach. "Happiness‚ then‚ is apparently something complete and self-sufficient‚ since it is the end of things achievable in action." Happiness alone satisfies these‚ and thus is our highest good. Aristotle describes all beings as having
