Western civ Lesson 25

Aristotle had many ideas about the world around him. These included politics, religion, etc. However ethics were some of his biggest. He had many ideas about what was wrong, and what was right, and how people viewed them. To begin, and to put it in simple terms, he believed every single thing a person did was to make themselves happy. This even includes putting themselves in danger, because it makes them happy to help someone else. His ideas are simple in the fact where we shouldn’t aim for happiness, but instead live with happiness. If live you live happy, you will have a more fulfilling life. Basically Aristotle is saying if you live with a positive mindset, then you will be much happier and enjoy life much much more.
