    According to Aristotle‚ in order to pursue virtue we must learn to both feel and act correctly. Being a virtuous person entails being affected by pleasure and pain. In book II of “Nicomachean Ethics”‚ Aristotle begins by explaining how virtuous actions are acquired by habit. He writes‚ “Rather‚ we are by nature able to acquire them‚ and we are completed through habit” (Aristotle 18). Essentially‚ Aristotle is saying that we acquire habits as we acquire skills. Virtues are acquired through habituation

    In the Nicomachean Ethics‚ it seems odd that Aristotle emphasizes friendship so much‚ placing it above justice‚ spending more time on it than on any of the moral virtues‚ and stating that “[a]nyone who is to be happy… will need virtuous friends” (Nicomachean Ethics IX.9.1170b). Compared to the lofty virtues that Aristotle discusses in the rest of the Nicomachean Ethics‚ like justice‚ friendship seems markedly less essential for a happy life. It is easy to see friendship as a result of man’s social

    Nicomachean Ethics: Analysis and Belief What is Nicomachean Ethics? Aristotle thought it was important enough to write about the subject‚ but what is it? Aristotle believed that the “Highest Good” was the end to everything. By highest good he meant true happiness based on a virtuous life that required moral action.

    One of the many subjects that Aristotle tackles in The Nicomachean Ethics is the concept and practice of friendship. Aristotle himself sets three requirements for friendship‚ as well as three separate categories for friendship‚ the categories being‚ utility based‚ pleasure based‚ and virtue based. While Aristotle does state that a virtue based friendship is the strongest‚ one could also put forth the argument that friendship only exists for the benefits of utility that come from friendship‚ leading

    The Chief Good In the Nicomachean Ethics‚ Aristotle states that everything a person does‚ whether it’s creating something‚ asking about something‚ deciding something‚ or doing an action‚ is done so in the pursuit of an end goal‚ or “to seek some good” (1094a2). For every action we take‚ there is a specific benefit‚ or good‚ that we hope to gain. For example‚ when you prepare food for yourself‚ you hope to satisfy your hunger or taste something good‚ and when you ask a question‚ you hope to receive

    Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics goes to show that he believes that the end goal of all human actions is eudaimonia‚ or happiness through success and fulfillment. Following this concept Aristotle goes on to explain that through virtuosity a human being can lead a happy life. He defines virtue as a disposition to make the correct decisions that lead to the chief good of happiness. A perfect example is when he describes someone who does an action well as being good‚ but they are only considered good

    Aristotle highlights in Nicomachean Ethics‚ that moral virtue is “acquired by repetition of the corresponding acts‚” thus virtue is acquired‚ not innate (Cahn 134). By doing moral acts repeatedly one becomes wise‚ “having or showing experience‚ knowledge‚ and good judgment” therefore‚ to be virtuous an individual is requires a plethora of wisdom‚ which is not learned or taught nor inherent‚ but from the source of trial and error. Additionally‚ after virtue becomes a habit the individual would then
