Aristotle and Happiness of the Soul

One of the conclusions of Aristotle's in the first book "Nicmarkian Ethics" is that "the good deeds of mankind is the activity of the soul expressing virtue" (EN 7.1098a17). This conclusion can be clarified by Aristotle 's definition and goodness, activity of the soul, and reasoning about excellence, and everything is related to happiness. Aristotle opened his view in such a statement: "Good is explained as all things that are often targeted" (1.1.1094a2). This premise means that all actions are designed to achieve good goals.

Aristotle 's happiness is the activity of my soul. In other words, using the soul correctly and completely can help us find happiness. Aristotle divides the soul into two parts, a rational part and an irrational part. The two parts of the soul are divided into two parts. The rational part includes the parts of calculation and science. In the scientific part of the soul there is a kind of knowledge about facts, not controversy. In other words, it is prior knowledge. The calculator completes the sentence and calculates it. It emphasizes knowledge and helps us make decisions

Happiness requires virtue and virtue is "soul activity", so Aristotle examines the virtue of the soul. First, he breaks up the two parts of the soul into rationality and irrationality. The irrational soul has two parts. It is similar to a little "rationality" impulses controlling "appetite and appetite" elements, "plant-like" elements that are "nutrition and growth" ability shared with each creature. A reasonable part of the soul contains both the essential elements of humans (related to personality) and "elements of cultivation". It is taught by "related to thinking" "listen to the rationality of the father".

Aristotle 's psychology is presented in his paper "peri psyche" and proposes the three souls of plant soul, sensitive soul, and reasonable soul. Humans have a reasonable soul. The human soul mixes with other kinds of forces: Like the soul of a plant it can grow and nourish itself; like a sensitive soul, it can feel moving and move around I will. The uniqueness of a human rational soul is that it accepts the shapes of other things and can compare them with rational (intellectual) and logical (rational).
